Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose are obligatory in (ritual bath). Sniffing water into the nose means drawing water into the nose with one's breath. It is sufficient to draw water into the nostrils without exaggeration. If there is an illness that prevents exaggeration, then it is sufficient to draw water to the edges of the nose.
