Does the limit of the face in ablution include the area below the jaw that has hair, knowing that the face ends at the chin along with the two jawbones, and I have read that it includes what hangs down from the two jawbones, and what if the person is beardless and there is nothing that hangs down from the two jawbones?
When washing the face during ablution, one must wash the area where the two jawbones meet and whatever extends below it, meaning what is beneath their ends. This applies if the person is beardless or has a sparse beard. As for a dense beard, the method for washing it was explained in a previous fatwa.
