Is it obligatory to wash inside the eye when doing wudoo’?

It is not prescribed to wash inside the eye when doing wudoo’
or ghusl; rather doing that is harmful to the eyes. 

Imam ash-Shaafa ‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said –
concerning the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation
of the meaning): “When
you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands
(forearms) up to the elbows”
[al-Maa’idah 5:6] –: I
do not know of any difference of opinion concerning the fact that the face
that must be washed when doing wudoo’ is the outward surface of the face,
not what is underneath; a man is not obliged to wash his eyes or sprinkle
water under his eyelids.

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Some of our
companions stated that one of the Sunnahs of wudoo’ is to wash inside the
eyes, and that it was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he became blind because
he often made the water enter his eyes. Al-Qaadi said: Rather that is
encouraged in the case of ghusl. This was stated by Ahmad in several places.
That is because ghusl following sexual activity involves more extensive
washing, as it involves washing the entire body, and washing underneath
thick hair (so that the water reaches the skin), that which is beneath the
eyelids, and so on, and inside the eyes comes under the heading of parts of
the body that it is possible to wash. If it is not obligatory, then at least
it is encouraged (mustahabb). 

However the correct view is that this is not Sunnah either in
wudoo’ or in ghusl, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) did not do this or instruct anyone to do it, and it is harmful.
What is mentioned from Ibn ‘Umar indicates that it is nor right, because it
caused him to lose his sight, and doing anything that it is feared will
cause one to lose one’s sight or will damage it, when there are no reports
to indicate that it is prescribed, if it is not haraam then it is at least
makrooh.

Based on that, it is sufficient to you to wash the face,
without getting water into your eyes. 

And Allah knows best.
