The Ruling on Excessive Inhalation During Ablution
A woman who inhales water strongly experiences a runny nose. If she does not bring the water into the nasal cavity, is her ablution considered valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Inhaling water through the nose and exaggerating in it is a Sunnah, and neglecting it does not invalidate the ablution, but it is considered a wrongdoing. If exaggerating in inhaling water causes harm, then the wrongdoing is excused. And God knows best.
