Shaafi’ Wudhu Masaail (19)

4.4. Applying Water to the Nose

1. It is masnoon to apply water to the nose.
2. The occasion for this is after having rinsed the mouth.
3. Merely applying the water to the nose suffices. The best method, however, is to take the water into the nostrils and then blow out.
4. It is afzal to rinse the mouth and apply water to the nose together, with a single scoop of water, rather than taking water separately for the two.
5. It is also sunnat to rid the nose of dirt and mucus. This should be done with the little finger of the left hand.
6. It is sunnat to thoroughly apply water to the nose, provided that one is not fasting.
7. Applying water thoroughly to the nose entails drawing the water into the nostrils and then blowing it out from the nose.
