Summary
Marin, in lexicon, is the tip of the nose or its soft part; the jurists use the same sense. The nose in general is wider; the wutra (the septum between the nostrils) is part of the nose 1. The jurists agree that the outer surface of the marin must be washed in ablution; they differ on the inside: the Hanafis hold reaching the water inside is sunna in ablution and obligatory in full ritual washing, the Malikis hold it sunna in both, the Shafi'is hold it obligatory only if the inside is soiled, and the Hanbalis require snuffing water in 2. For cutting off the marin by error, the full blood-money is due on the report of Amr ibn Hazm, and an intentional injury carries retaliation in the view of the four schools 3. The Malikis count the splitting of the marin's tip among the signs of puberty; the Shafi'is do not 4.
