The Ruling on Water of Ablution Reaching the Earlobes

Question
Is it necessary for the water of ablution to reach the earlobes?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is recommended to wipe the ears, but it is not obligatory. The requirement in washing the face is to reach the earlobe, not to wash the earlobe itself. And God knows best.
