201 | When I wash my ears during wudu, do I have to insert my finger into the whole ear? | Question
When I wash my ears during wudu, do I have to insert my finger into the whole ear? What is the ruling on the waxy substance in the ears? Must it be removed so that the water can each all parts of the ear from the inside, knowing that this waxy substance may come out from the ear?. | Praise be to Allah.What is proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is that he used to wipe his ears, not wash them. He would wipe the outer part with his thumbs and the inner part with his forefingers, with whatever water was left on his hands after wiping his head.

person who is in a state of minor impurity to read Qur’aan without touching
the Mus-haf, and it is permissible for him to touch books of Tafseer or to

The guideline concerning that is that whatever prevents water from reaching the skin means that wudu is not valid, and whatever does not prevent water from reaching the skin means that wudu is valid.
Based on this, wudu is valid if there is ink on any part of the body that is washed in wud... | Ablution before prayer | https://islamqa.info/en/categories/topics/62/ablution-before-prayer?page=6 | https://islamqa.info/en/answers/69817/does-the-presence-of-oil-ink-or-secretions-of-the-eye-affect-tahaarah-purification | 62 | 69,817 |
208 | Should he pray behind one who did not wash his hands again when he washed his arms in udu? | Question
Some people wash their arms from wrists to elbows only without washing the hands with them. Sometimes a person leads salaah while I am nearly sure he did not wash his arms in the correct way, sometimes I doubt it. Shall I pray behind him?. | Praise be to Allah.Firstly:
In the answer to question no. 103694 we stated that what is required is to wash the arms from the tips of the fingers to the elbows, and that if they ware washed from the wrists then wudu is not valid.

209 | Du’aa’ during wudu by the status of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) | Question
I have a habit which I do not know if it is good or bad:

Also during the prayer I ask Allah by his Prophet’s virtue to forgive my sins and to have mercy on me. Is this du’a permissible or not?

211 | Saying Bismillah for wudu when one is in the bathroom | Question
Is it permissible for a Muslim, after relieving himself in the bathroom to say “Bismillah” inside the bathroom and then do wudu, or should he go out, say “Bismillah” then go back in and do wudu (because there is no wudu for the one who does not mention the name of Allah)?

212 | Description of washing the beard during wudoo’ and ghusl | Question
I have a medium length beard with empty patches on the sides. Do I have to rub it with water during wudu’ and ghusl, or it is enough to just wash it once by a fist of water while washing my face, just as the rest of the facial hair (eyebrows, moustache, and soul patch)?. | Praise be to Allah.Rubbing is mustahabb in
wudoo’ and ghusl according to most of the scholars, except for the
Maalikis.
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have
mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo’ (2/214):

214 | Does Drying The Right Foot Before Washing The Left Invalidate Wudu? | Question
If while making Wudu I wash my right foot and dry it then wash my left one then dry it, does this invalidate the continuity of Wudu? | Praise be to Allah.Continuity in Wudu means not to delay washing one part until the one before it has dried within a moderate amount of time. Therefore, if the part dries because of intense heat, wind, or by drying it with a towel, this has no effect (on Wudu), if washing the part is not delayed longer than the time it... | Ablution before prayer | https://islamqa.info/en/categories/topics/62/ablution-before-prayer?page=6 | https://islamqa.info/en/answers/105702/does-drying-the-right-foot-before-washing-the-left-invalidate-wudu | 62 | 105,702 |

I work in a company and it is difficult to do Wudu for prayer (i.e., to take off the Hijab in order to wipe my hair and ears).

217 | Do We Have to Wash Our Feet in Wudu? | Question
Why does Allah mention wiping (or rubbing) the feet during Wudu in the verse, “rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and your feet up to the ankles” [Al-Ma’idah 5:6]? What we know is that we should wash our feet during Wudu, so why does it say imsahu (rub or wipe)? My friend asked me this question and t... | Praise be to Allah.What must be done in Wudu is washing the feet ; it is not sufficient to wipe them. Your friend’s understanding of the verse as meaning that the feet may be wiped is not correct.
The evidence that it is obligatory to wash the feet is the report narrated by Al-Bukhari (163) and Muslim (241) from `Abdu... | Ablution before prayer | https://islamqa.info/en/categories/topics/62/ablution-before-prayer?page=7 | https://islamqa.info/en/answers/69761/do-we-have-to-wash-our-feet-in-wudu | 62 | 69,761 |

Is it obligatory to do Wudu after drinking camel's milk too? | Praise be to Allah.Most of the scholars are of the view that it is not obligatory to do Wudu after drinking camel's milk.

How is the head wiped in Wudu? | Praise be to Allah.Is there a specific way to wash or wipe the parts of Wudu?

221 | Can You Do Wudu with Oil in Your Hair? | Question
Does having a little olive oil in one's hair prevent the water from reaching the hair and thus make Wudu invalid? | Praise be to Allah.It seems that the small amount of olive oil mentioned would not prevent the water from reaching the hair .

What is the ruling on a person who washes his arm from the wrist to the elbow, without washing his hand, thinking that washing it at the beginning of wudu is sufficient?
