Wudu and big beard

[TheGreenWanderer 153]

As-salaam Alaikum,

With a bigger beard, it can be more challenging to get water into it

Would wudu still be validated if instead of putting wet fingers into the beard, I used a spray bottle to get water in and to the skin underneath instead?

Thanks

Do we have a narrative that the height of the beard of the face is a sign of human wisdom?questionDo we have an narrative from infallible : the height of the beard of the face is sign of a man's wisdom?

Concise answer
We did not find such a narration based on research and search in the Hadith sources, but the following points can be found:
1. The principle of having a beard is necessary; Reason: "The jurisprudential reason not to beard", question 3313.
2. Picking up a beard is more than a fist is Makruh, and based on some traditions, it is a sign of low of rationality:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "A good man is a man whose beard is light and short." [1]
Imam Sadiq (AS) said: "What from beard is more than one closed fist (that is, if the owner of the beard takes the length of it by his hand , that which remains out of his hand [2]) that amount will be in the fire." [3]
3. As the great jurists, according to these traditions, have concluded that moderation and moderation are good in putting the beard; [4]
It can be said that the size of having a beard (neither too long nor too short) is a sign of reason and wisdom, since no It is so short that it follows the opposition of the Shari'a, and not so tall as it does to be a sign of Irrationallity .

"  1. Wash your face from the forehead, i.e. from the hairline to the chin vertically and that which falls within the expanse of your hand between the thumb and the small finger horizontally. [Noting that, you should do the washing from the top to the bottom of the face, without the need to soak thick (beard) hair]."

This is a book approved by Sayed Ali Al-Sistani. I do not know if you follow (do taqleed) of him or someone else, and if that would make any difference in this regard.  " Jurisprudence made easy "

You do not need to wash the skin under the beard, but just on the outer parts of the beard.
