Washing the Feet in Ablution

Question
When washing the feet in ablution, is it permissible to wash them while standing, just by letting water flow from the tap onto the feet, or is rubbing necessary?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The obligation in washing the feet is to ensure that water reaches all of the foot, and rubbing is not required; rather, it is recommended. If it is confirmed that water reaches the feet through the faucet, the ablution is valid, and God knows best.
