حاشية الطحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح شرح نور الإيضاح (ص: 102)

هو عموم الماء ما أمكن من الجسد بلا حرج ولكن عدت التعليم منها "غسل الفم والأنف" وهو فرض اجتهادي لقوله تعالى: {فَاطَّهَّرُوا} . بخلافه في الوضوء لأن الوجه لا يتناولهما لأن المواجهة لا تكون بداخل الأنف والفم وصيغة المبالغة في قوله فاطهروا تتناولهما ولا حرج فيهما "والبدن"

الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (1/ 152)

(لا) يجب (غسل ما فيه حرج كعين) وإن اكتحل بكحل نجس (وثقب انضم و) لا (داخل قلفة)

الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (1/ 152)

(قوله: كعين) لأن في غسلها من الحرج ما لا يخفى؛ لأنها شحم لا تقبل الماء، وقد كف بصر من تكلف له من الصحابة كابن عمر وابن عباس بحر.
