Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: If I forgot the intention and realized it during the wudu', do I complete my wudu' or do I start over? Yes.
Answer:
I do not think you sit and answer the water and sit with the water while you have not intended it. It is not valid. Yes. It is not the intention. The intention is that you turn to the act of worship and begin it. It is evidence of the presence of the intention. And you are not asleep. Because you are asleep. I do not know. People are awake, and one comes and sits to perform wudu' and says, "I did not intend it." Yes.
