Making masah instead of washing the face in wudhu
Question
In wudhu I wet my hands and immediately pass them over my face. My whole face becomes thouroughly wet and I do this three times. However I haven't been cupping the water or splashing on my face. Is this sufficient?
Answer
No. Wetting the hands is insufficient. Cupping the water and pouring it on the face is important.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
