The rulings on ’ (purification after defecation/urination) and the finger joints (barajim) have been previously explained. Also, it was clarified that sabt refers to straight, flowing hair without kinks, just as the difference between Sunan (recommended acts) and Nawafil (supererogatory acts), their numbers, and how they are performed, have been addressed in previous fatwas.
