Question:If someone, either voluntarily or involuntarily, touches something wet, such as a faucet, between the acts of ablution— for example, after washing the face, touching a wet faucet—does this invalidate the ablution?

Question:Can obligatory washing in ablution be achieved by something like the slight wiping that occurs with a little water in palm, for example?

Answer:In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that washing involves the movement of water from one part to another, whether the movement is propelled by the water naturally or assisted by something else. Therefore, washing the hand in ablution requires that the water moves from the elbow to the fingertips, either by the natural movement of water as a person immerses their hand in water suitable for ablution and draws their hand from the elbow to the fingertips, or by the movement of water as it is poured onto the elbow and moved to the fingertips with your other hand. If the water moves, no matter how lightly, the required washing is achieved. Allah knows best.

Question:Is it permissible for us to perform ablution (wudhu) and prayer if we have applied nail polish on our hands or feet? I have heard that if one of the fingers on the hand or foot is not polished, it is permissible to perform wudhu and prayer. What is your opinion on this matter?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it is not valid to perform wudhu or wash while having nail polish on the nails of the hand. The nail polish must be removed before performing wudhu or washing. As for the feet, washing is not valid at all in this situation. Regarding wudhu, if one of the toes on the feet is longer and free from nail polish, and ablution has been performed including the washing of that toe, then the wudhu is valid. The term "nail polish" refers to a cosmetic substance used for decoration that can be removed. However, the staining caused by henna is not considered a barrier. Allah is the Guide, and He is the All-Knowing.

Question:In washing the face in ablution, is it sufficient to pour water on the middle of the face and then start washing from the top down, or is it necessary to pour water from the top at the hairline? Is to correct if one washes from the eyes downwards and then washes from the hairline to the eyes? Or is it necessary to wash in the order from top to bottom?

Answer:In the name of Allah, be informed my son that washing means moving the water on the area to be washed. If the water is poured on the middle of the face and then the hand is raised higher than the area on which the water is poured then it is lowered, the process of washing the face from the hairline is not accomplished. The order of washing is from top to bottom; the top of the face must be washed before washing the bottom. If a person has a forehead equal in height in regards to the hairline such that the hairline from the right side is not higher than that of the middle or the left side, then in such a case, the person is free to start washing from any point of the hairline whether the right side, left or middle. If the middle of the forehead is higher, as in most people, then the middle of the forehead must be washed first, which is higher than other sides. Allah knows best.

Question:Can we perform ablution while the hair contains oil?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if the oil is dense or contains density, it is invalid to wipe the hair unless the oil is removed, because it is regarded as an isolator. Allah knows best.

Question:If there is dirt on the finger tips, but it is very little so that it seems like part of the skip, should we remove it before ablution?

Answer:In the name of Allah, any water proof (a thing which prevents water from touching the skin) should be removed no matter how little it is. Allah knows best.

Question:Is it permissible to read the Quran, Hadithul Kisa, or any other supplication without ablution?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it is permissible for all what you mentioned without ablution, but it is forbidden to touch the words of Quran without ablution in addition to the names and attributes of Allah. It is a precaution that the names of prophets, guardians and the lady of women (Peace be upon all of them) are not to be touched. Touch is achieved by simply touching any letter of the word mentioned. And it is better if the reciting is performed while the reciter is on ablution. Allah knows best.
