Exceeding three washes in the ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Often I wash my limbs more than three times in Ramadan. Is this multiplying the ablution? And the Sunnah is three times only, with no increase beyond that.

Answer:
Yes, if you exceed the three, it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. The first is obligatory, the three are a recommended practice (sunnah), and the fourth is a bid'ah.
