The answer

What is under the chin does not need to be washed in wudu' (ablution), because it is not included within the boundaries of the face, and scholars have reached a consensus on this. As for the beard, if it is thin, it is obligatory to run water through it so that the water reaches the skin. If it is thick, washing its outer part is sufficient, and it is not necessary for this to be done with a single scoop of water.
