وإدخال الماء في داخل العينين ليس بواجب لأن داخل العين ليس بوجه لأنه لا يواجه إليه ولأن فيه حرجا وقيل: إن من تكلف لذلك من الصحابة كف بصره كابن عباس وابن عمر رضي الله عنهم (بدائع الصنائع 1/4)
ولا يجب إيصال الماء إلى داخل العينين ومن الناس من قال لا يضم العينين كل الضم ولا يفتح كل الفتح حتى يصل الماء إلى أشفاره وجوانب عينيه (فتاوى قاضيخان 1/15)
