Fardh of washing the hands in wudhu

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2017-08-17 07:04

Q: Are the hands, including the wrist, included in the faraaidh of wudhu?

A: The fardh is to wash the hands from the fingers till the elbows (i.e. including the elbows). Washing the hands till the wrists is sunnah at the beginning of the wudhu.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

أما فرض غسل اليد فمن رؤوس الأصابع إلى المرفقين ويدخل المرفقان في الغسل عند علمائنا الثلاثة رحمهم الله لأن اسم اليد يقع على هذه الجملة (المحيط البرهاني 1/35)

(وسنته) أي سنة الوضوء (غسل يديه إلى رسغيه ابتداء كالتسمية) أما البداءة بغسل اليدين فلأنهما آلة التطهير فيبدأ بتنظيفهما وقال: إلى رسغيه لوقوع الكفاية به في التنظيف وأطلقه ليتناول المستيقظ وغيره (تبيين الحقائق 1/3)
