Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and make your knowledge beneficial. In another question, he asks: Is the invocation obligatory at the start of the ablution? And if a person forgets and does not mention the invocation until after he has finished his ablution, does he have to repeat it?
Answer:
Yes, the invocation is obligatory at the beginning of the ablution, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Bulugh al-Maram 49, so he invokes at the start of the ablution. And if he forgets it, there is no sin on him, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Baqarah 2:286], so it is dropped due to forgetfulness, and his ablution is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
