The Area of the Face and Hands to be Washed for Wudu’

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ فَرَضَ الله عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ لِلصَّلاَةِ أَنْ يَبْتَدِئْنَ بِبَاطِنِ أَذْرُعِهِنَّ وَفِي الرِّجَالِ بِظَاهِرِ الذِّرَاعِ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his brother Ishaq ibn Ibrahim from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il ibn Bazi‘ who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida عليه السلام, has said, ‘In the case of women about Wudu’ for Salah (prayer), Allah has made it obligatory in washing their hands to pour water over the interior side of their forearm and for men to pour water over the exterior side of their forearms.’”
