Bismaelah
When a Muslim performs wudhu (ablution):
1. Washing the hands, including the space between the fingers by placing one hand over the other hand (e.g., left hand over right hand)
2. Cleaning the mouth by rinsing with water, and brushing the teeth with toothbrush (& toothpaste) or brushing with miswak.
3. Cleaning the nose by breathing water inside nose and blowing the nose up (if necessary, using left thumb & pinky finger, then washing left hand)
4. Washing the face (from left ear to right ear & from edge of hair line to chin
5. Cleaning the right hand, then left hand including the elbows (make a cup with palm, then slide water over to wash the hand, having strings of water flow to elbow, then wiping with the other hand)
6. Then, wiping the head, wetting the hair, then the neck, and then the ear.
7. Washing the right foot, then the left foot up to the ankle. Also, clean between the toes with water by wiping with left pinky finger.
Out of all these, what are the Far'd and what are the Sunnah of Wudhu according to Hanafi Mathab?
Also, what is the best/optimum way to do no. 6 - can I collect water more than 1 time to do the step 6 or I have to do step 6 with only 1 water collection on the palm.
Also, brushing the teeth with toothbrush (may have toothpaste) and brushing with miswak: both have the same rewards OR miswak has rewards, but, toothbrush makes the duties done?
On a day a Muslim is fasting:
1. to brush with toothbrush and toothpaste; 2. brushing with toothbrush or miswak; 3. not rinsing and washing the mouth at all because even rinsing the mouth with water (no water get into stomach) can make the person to relieve from thrist
Which option is the most suitable practice?
