Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: When I forget to say "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" at the start of wudu', is it permissible for me to say "Bismillah" when I remember, or is it specific to food only?
Answer:
Say "Bismillah" and that is sufficient. In wudu', if you remember, say "Bismillah" in the middle or at the end, and that is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
