Question
What is the ruling for someone who has taken a bath but did not reach the water to the parts of their beard that extend?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not sufficient for him, and he must ensure that water reaches all parts of the beard, so that it reaches its roots and what flows from it; as there is no harm in that. Washing the beard is sufficient for him, and he is not required to repeat the wash. See: Sharh Al-Wiqayah, pp. 91-92, and God knows best.
