The Number of Times to Wash the Limbs of Wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible? Do you see any of us? And I call upon Allah that we return to injustice?

Answer:
The wudu' for the limbs that are obligatory is to wash each limb once, covering the entire limb. The recommended practice is to wash the face, the hands, and the feet three times each; this is the best. However, increasing beyond three times is not permissible, because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and an addition to what Allah has prescribed.
