The Cause of Ablution from Doubtful Water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, why do we perform wudu from the doubtful water, taking a handful from this and a handful from that, and not perform wudu from the first water and then from the second water with a single intention?
Answer:
It does not become a single intention, because you do not know which one is the purifying water, so the intention is not specified. But if you take a handful from this and a handful from that, the intention is present in all the purification from its beginning to its end. But if you perform a complete wudu from this and a complete wudu from the second, you do not know which one is the purifying water, and then the intention is not specified.
