ANSWER:

Yes, you must wash the whole arm including the hands and fingers.

Washing the hands in the beginning is a sunnah and not mandatory. If you skip it and begin with rinsing your mouth, nose and washing your face, this is totally fine.

 

When I make wudu and I wash my arms, do I have to wash my hands until the fingers again in detail like in the beginning of the wudu or is it permissible to only wipe over the back of my hand until the fingers?
