Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is required that the washing be done from top to bottom, but it is not necessary to wash from the middle. If the hand is tilted to the right or left, this does not affect the validity of the ablution.
May you be successful in all good.
