The Chapter Concerning فَـرَائِضِ الْـوُضُـوءِ (The Obligatory Actions of Wuḍuu’), سُـنَـنِهِ (It’s Actions Derived From Prophet Muhammad]) and فَـضَائِـلِهِ (the Meritorious Acts of Wuḍuu’).
فَـأَمَّا فَـرَائِضِ الْـوُضُـوء (As for the obligatory actions of wuḍuu’), فَسَبْعَةٌ (they are seven): 1) النِّيَّة (the intention) عِـنْدَ غَسْلِ الْوَجْهِ (which is made in conjunction with the washing of the face), 2) وَغَـسْـلُ الْـوَجْـه (washing of the face), 3) وَغَـسْـلُ يَـدَيْـنِ (washing the hands) إِلَـى مَـرفَـقَيْن (up to the elbows), 4) وَمَـسْحُ جَـمِيع الرَّأْس (wiping over the entire head), 5) وَغَـسْـلُ الرِّجْـلَيْـن (washing the feet) إلَـى الْـكَعْبَيْـنِ (up to the ankles), 6) وَالْـفَوْرُ (washing each limb one immediately after the other), 7) وَالتَّدْلِـيك (and rubbing each limb vigorously).
فَـهَـذِهِ سَـبْعَةٌ (These are the seven obligatory actions), لَـكِنْ يَـجِبُ عَـليْكَ (but you are required) فِي غَسْل وَجْهِ (when washing your face), أَنْ تُخَـلَّلَ شَـعْرَ لِحْـيَتِكَ (to comb through the hair of your beard with your fingers). إِنْ كَـانَ شَـعْرُ الِـحْـيَةِ خََـفِيفًا (If the hair of the beard is thin) إِنْ كَـانَ شَـعْرُ اللِّحْيَةِ خَفِيفًا تَظْهَرُ الْبَشَرَةُ (the skin beneath it will show). وَإِنْ كَـانَ كَـثيفًا (If the hair of the beard is thick thin), فَـلاَ يَـجِبُ عَـلَيْكَ تَخْـلِيلُهَا (it is not necessary for you to comb through it with the fingers). وَكَـذَالِـكَ (Similarly), يَـجِبُ عَـلَيْكَ (you are required) فِـي غَسْـلِ يَـدَيك (while washing your hands) تُخَـلَّلَ أَصَـا بِـعَكَ (to comb through the fingers of your hand with the fingers of the other). عَـلَى الْـمَشْهُورِ (This is in accord with what is well known in the madh-hab of Imām Mālik).
وَأَمَّا سُـنَـنُ الْـوُضُـوء (As for the Sunnah actions of wuḍuu’), فَثَمَانِيَةٌ (they are eight): (1) غَـسْـلُ يَـدَيْـنِ أَوْلاً (washing the hands first) إِلَـى الْـكَوْعَـيْن (up to the wrist bone), (2) وَالْـمَضْمَـضَة (rinsing the mouth with water), (3) وَالاِسْـتتِنْـشَاق (inhaling water into the nostril), (4) وَالاِسْـتِنْـثَار ( exhalation); وهُـوَ جَـذْبُ الْـمَاءِ مِـنَ الأَنْـفِ (it is forceful blowing water from the nostril), (5) وَرَدُّ مَـسْحِ الرَّأْس (repeating the wiping of the head), (6) وَمَـسْحُ الأُذُنَـيْـن (wiping the two ears both وَبَـاطِـنِهِـمَا (on the outside of them) and ظَـاهِـرِهِـمَا (the inside of them), (7) وَتَـجْـدِيدُ الْـمَاء (renewing the water) for both ears, (8) وَتَـرْتِـيبُ فَرَائِـدِهِ (maintaining correct order in performing the farḍ actions of wuḍuu’).
وَأَمَّا فَـضَائِـلِهِ (As for the meritorious actions of wuḍuu’) فَسَـبْعَةٌ (they are seven): 1) التَّسْمِيَّةُ (Basmalah – Bismi-l-laahi-r-Rahmaani-r-Rahiim which said at the beginning of wuḍuu’, 2) وَالْـمَوْضِـعُ الطَاهِـرُ (a clean area) for performing prayer, 3) وَقِـلَّةُ الْـمَاءِ بِـلاَ حَدٍّ (using a small amount of water without a limit), 4) وَوَضْـعُ الإنَـاءِ عَـلَى الْـيَمِين (placing the water container on the right) إِنْ كَانَ مَفْتُوحًا (if it is open), 5) وَالْغَسْـلَةُ الثَّانِـيَّة والثَّالِـثَة ( the second and third washing of the limbs) إِذَا أَوْعَبَ بِالأُولَ (after having done it once), 6) وَالْـبَدْءُ بِـمُقَدَّمِ الرَّأْسِ (beginning at the front of the head), 7) وَالسِّوَاك (the siwaak). وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ (Allah is the Best Knower).
