Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 232
Answer: It is a Sunnaĥ to clean the inside of the nose in Wuḍū.
Therefore, remove the dried mucus if it has accumulated in the nose.
Similarly, if rheum of eyes has dried on eye-lashes etc. it is also Farḍ
to remove it in Wuḍū and Ghusl. But take care not to break any hair.
As for removing dirt from the ear, no Islamic scholar has explicitly
allowed to remove it. Therefore, the ruling of removing bodily dirt
will apply in this case, i.e. it is Makrūĥ Tanzīĥī to remove it but no
hair should break.
Question 19: Can a person perform ‘Umraĥ on behalf of his living
parents
Answer: He can do. The reward of every type of deed including Farḍ
Ṣalāĥ, fast, Hajj, Zakāĥ or any supererogatory act may be donated
to the living as well as the dead (Muslims).
Question 20: Kindly state expiations for killing louse in the state
of Iḥrām.
Answer: If a Muḥrim kills one of his own lice on his body or clothes
or throws it away, he has to donate a piece of bread. If he kills or
throws away two or three lice, he has to donate a handful of grain.
In case of more than three lice, he will have to pay a Ṣadaqaĥ.
If a Muḥrim washes his head or cloth or puts it in the sunshine for
killing lice, there is the same expiation for it as for killing lice. If
someone else kills Muḥrim’s louse at the command of the Muḥrim,
the Muḥrim will have to pay expiation even if the one killing the
louse is not in the state of Iḥrām. There is no expiation for killing
the louse that has fallen onto the ground etc. or the one that is on
another person’s body or clothes even if the other person is also in
the state of Iḥrām.
