Is wiping the outer part of the ears from top to bottom?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The jurists mentioned that the method of wiping the ears is by passing the thumb over their outer surface upwards, while inserting the index fingers into the ear canals and rotating them. Additionally, it may involve pressing the wet palms against the ears to cover them completely, or wiping the outer ear with the thumb and the inner ear with the index finger, and inserting the pinky finger into the ear canals. The best method is to insert the index fingers into the ear canals and place the thumbs behind them, then rotate them to wipe both their outer and inner surfaces.
