Purity: Ruling on Washing the Face with Facial Hair in Wuḍūʾ
Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 239
If the skin of one’s face is visible from in between his facial hair, he must ensure that the water reaches the skin. If it is not visible, then washing his facial hair is sufficient and it is not necessary for him to ensure that water reaches under his facial hair.
