The ruling on washing the face more than three times

Question:
He says: What is the ruling on washing the face in wudu' more than three times out of caution?

Answer:
No, my brother, this is not permissible. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is not permissible to do more than three times. The obligatory act is to do it once. If he washes it three times, that is a sunnah (recommended practice); three times is a sunnah. If he goes beyond the third time, that is a bid'ah. So the first time is obligatory and fard, and the three times are a sunnah, or the two times are also a sunnah. Yes.
