Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: Is there a specific amount of water that must be used for istinja', wudu', or ghusl, such that it is not permissible to exceed it?
Answer:
It is not permissible to be extravagant in pouring water, whether in washing away ritual impurity or in performing wudu', because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade extravagance in water. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ghusl in such a way that he would perform wudu' with a mudd and ghusl with a sa'. Therefore, it is not permissible to be extravagant in pouring water or in performing wudu'. Ritual impurity is to be removed until it is gone, without extravagance. As for wudu', as mentioned earlier, one performs it three times on each limb, and after wiping the head, it is done once. Yes.
