Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do sins fall away through wudu' even if the person does not intend to pray, but only intends for the sins to fall away?
Answer:
Yes, if he intends the wudu' itself as an act of worship, if he intends the wudu' to be in a state of purity so that he sleeps in a state of purity, or to perform one of the prescribed forms of dhikr in a state of purity, then he receives the reward of the wudu' and the shedding of sins. Yes. In every prescribed wudu'. Yes.
