How to say “hands” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
يَجِبُ تقديمُ مسحِ الوجهِ على مسحِ اليدين؛ فلو عَكَسَ ناسيًا لم يصحّ على المذهب
The wiping of the face must precede the wiping of the hands; if reversed inadvertently, it is not valid according to the school of thought.
اليَدَينِ — the hands. The dual ending '-ayn' carries 'exactly two' — 'the two hands' — the -ayn being the form after a preposition. No separate 'two' is needed; the count is built into the word. Their wipe follows the face's.
