Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person performs one part of his wudu' before another and then realizes it, for example, if he wipes his head before washing his hands up to the elbows, does he have to repeat his wudu' from the beginning, or does he go back and wash his hands, then wipe his head, and complete his wudu'?
Answer:
Likewise, he corrects the order by going back and washing his hands, then wiping his head after washing his hands. The wiping that occurred before the hands does not count; he completes his wudu' in this manner because he made a correction. Yes.
