Q: When wiping eyes corners, I constantly doubt whether I have done it properly. I am sticking my fingers in my eye cases to ensure that I have wiped the corner and also the corner in the edge of the eyelid. Please advise me how to do, I already have lost lot of pairs of contact lenses because of this.
A: You do not have to go to this extent. Rubbing the corner is sufficient.
( لا غسل باطن العينين )
و في رد المحتار: قوله ( لا غسل باطن العينين الخ ) لأنه شحم يضره الماء الحار والبارد ولهذا لو اكتحل بكل نجس لا يجب غسله (رد المحتار 1/97)
