The Boundary of the Face

Question
What is the boundary of the face that must be washed in ablution?
Answer

The boundary of the face is from the hairline to the bottom of the chin — the junction of the jaws — in length, and between the earlobes in width; because the face is what a person faces with, or what is usually faced, and the facing occurs with this defined area.
