Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Our sister asks: Is performing wudu' for prayer once considered a valid wudu' if it is thorough for all the limbs, or is it insufficient?
Answer:
Wudu' is washing the limbs once; this is obligatory, and it suffices, achieving the required state of purity, and the ritual purity is valid with it, if Allah wills. Anything beyond the single wash is a recommended practice (sunnah). For example, washing the face three times is a recommended practice, washing the hands three times is a recommended practice, and washing the feet three times is a recommended practice. The triple washing is a recommended practice, and the single wash is necessary. If the single wash is gentle and thorough on the limb, it suffices. And praise be to Allah.
