Revive a Sunnah in Wudu- Go between your Hands and Toes

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَخَلِّلْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْكَ وَرِجْلَيْكَ

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When performing Wudu go between the fingers of your hands and toes on your feet.

· Shaykh Zayd ibn Muhammad Al-Madkhali (may Allah preserve him) said, “ It’s recommended to go between the hands, toes and beard during Wudu.

· Ibn Sayyidin Nas (734 H may Allah have mercy on him) said, “Our scholars have said that it’s sunnah to go between the toes in Wudu while washing them. This act can be done even if water can reach the toes. And if the fingers are covered and water can’t reach the fingers properly, then it’s a must to go between them with water. [ An-Nafhush-Shathee ]



· Al-Mustawrid bin Shaddad Al-Fihri (may Allah be pleased with him) said,” I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing Wudu going between the toes with his pinky.[ At-Tirmithi 40 Shaykh Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) graded this hadeeth as being Sahih]



· Huthayfah ibn Yamman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “ Go between your fingers during Wudu, before the fire does.”



· Qassim ibn Muhammad said, “During my journey with ibn Umar I saw him remove his Khuffs and wash between his toes while making wudu.”



· ‘Ikrimah said, “ When you make wudu, go through you fingers first with water. Between the fingers is a resting place for Shaytan.
