The Ruling on Sniffing Water and Rinsing in Ablution

Question
Are sniffing water and rinsing considered pillars of ablution? And is wiping the neck an innovation?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Inhaling water through the nose and rinsing the mouth are among the Sunnahs of ablution, and wiping the neck is among the recommended acts of ablution, and God knows best.
