The Two Rak'ahs of Wudu and Their Prescribed Nature

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What about the two rak'ahs of wudu? I have asked about them in al-Salih.

Answer:
Yes. It is recommended (mustahabb) for one who performs wudu to pray two rak'ahs, which are the two rak'ahs of wudu. This is based on the hadith of Bilal, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard his footsteps in Paradise, or the sound of his feet in Paradise, so he asked him about the reason. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that he never performed wudu without praying two rak'ahs afterward. This indicates the prescribed nature (mashru'iyyah) of the two rak'ahs after the Maghrib prayer.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
