عن يزيد بن أبى حبيب رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مر على امرأتين تصليان فقال إذا سجدتما فضما بعض اللحم إلى الأرض ، فإن المرأة ليست في ذلك كالرجل (مراسيل أبي داود)
عن عبد الله بن عمر قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا جلست المرأة في الصلوة وضعت فخذها على فخذها الاخرى وإذا سجدت الصقت بطنها في فخذيها كالستر ما يكون لها وان الله تعالى ينظر إليها ويقول يا ملائكتى اشهدكم انى قد غفرت لها
(بيهقي ج٢ص ٢٢٣)

Dua Before Wudhu
Question: What Dua should one read before making Wudhu?
Answer: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said to him; “ O Abu Hurairah, when you make Wudhu, say “Bismillah Walhamdulillah” (In the name of Allah, All praises to Allah). If you read this then the angels will continue making Dua for you as long as you remain in the state of Wudhu. [Tabrani Fil Awsat]
وعن أبي هريرة قال : قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : " يا أبا هريرة ، إذا توضأت فقل : بسم الله والحمد لله ، فإن حفظتك لا تبرح تكتب لك الحسنات حتى تحدث من ذلك الوضوء " .

Washing The Beard In Wudhu
Question: Is it necessary to wash the beard when making Wudhu?
Answer: If one has a dense beard, it will be necessary to wash only that part of the beard which is on the face.
As for the hair that is outside or exceeds the circumference of the face (the beard hair that suspends from the face) - it will be Sunnah to make Khilaal of that hair.
Furthermore, if one has a sparse beard i.e. the skin under the beard remain visible - then it will be necessary to wash the beard as well as the skin beneath the beard.
وغسل جميع اللحية فرض) يعني عمليا (أيضا) على المذهب الصحيح المفتى به المرجوع إليه، وما عدا هذه الرواية مرجوع عنه كما في البدائع.ثم لا خلاف أن المسترسل لا يجب غسله ولا مسحه بل يسن، وأن الخفيفة التي ترى بشرتها يجب غسل ما تحتها، كذا في النهر.وفي البرهان: يجب غسل بشرة لم يسترها الشعر كحاجب وشارب وعنفقة في المختار
