The Number of Washings in Wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That Allah be the Greatest, the Greatest, and the Greatest with him, otherwise it becomes excessive.
Answer:
Wudu' is obligatory once, covering the limb. The recommended practice is three times: three for the hands, three for the face, three for the arms, and three for the legs. This is the most excellent. As for increasing beyond three, it is not permissible, because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and an addition to what Allah has prescribed.
