Fatwa CenterHas Difficulty Rinsing His Nose During Ablution
Question
When I do the Wudu. I can't easily do the "Istinshak". So can I do it without introducing the water in my nose?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Putting water in the nose during ablution is merely a Sunnah act according to the view of the majority of Muslim scholars. Thus, a person should aspire to do that but if one fails to do so, there is no harm and his ablution is valid, especially when he faces hardship in doing so.
For more benefit on the nullifiers of ablution, please refer to Fatwa 84093.
For more benefit on the detailed description of ablution, please refer to Fataawa 82845 and 83164.
For more benefit on obligatory and Sunnah acts of ablution and prayer, please refer to Fatwa 84841.
Allah knows best.
