Explanation of the manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) ablution, the ruling on one who neglects some of the obligatory elements of ablution, and one who exceeds three times in washing the limbs

Question:
The caller Salim 'Abd al-Karim from 'Ar'ar says: We see some people, among the elderly and the common folk, who, when performing ablution, rinse their mouths and sniff water into their nostrils and wash their faces more than three times, and they do not observe the order or the continuity. And when we tell them that this action is not correct, they say there is no harm in it; the intention is purity. Is this correct? May Allah reward you with good, and what do you advise?

Answer:
This is not correct. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the manner of ablution through his own action (peace and blessings be upon him). He performed ablution (peace and blessings be upon him) in order, starting with rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nostrils, then he washed his face (peace and blessings be upon him) three times. He sniffs water into his nostrils three times, rinses his mouth three times, sniffs water into his nostrils three times, washes his face three times, washes his hands three times up to the elbows, washes his feet, and wipes his head once, and washes his feet three times. This is the manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) ablution. Allah the Exalted said: . There is no doubt that the order between rinsing the mouth, sniffing water into the nostrils, and washing the face is recommended, because rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nostrils are part of the face. So if he washes his face first, then rinses his mouth and sniffs water into his nostrils, or sniffs water into his nostrils before rinsing his mouth, all of that is permissible. But the best is what we mentioned first: to start with rinsing the mouth, then sniffing water into the nostrils, then washing the face. This is the best. As for neglecting the order in the remaining limbs, such as washing his hands before his face, or washing his feet before wiping his head, this invalidates the ablution, because the order is an obligatory duty, one of the obligatory elements of ablution. Because Allah mentioned these limbs in order, and what Allah mentioned in order must be performed in order in the action and execution. And as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, he performed ablution in order. As for exceeding three times, it is a religious innovation (bid'ah). It is not permissible to exceed three times. The obligatory duty and the fard is once, and twice is a virtue. Yes.
Once is an obligatory duty, twice is a virtue, and three times is the best. And what exceeds three times is a religious innovation (bid'ah) because it contradicts the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the statement of the one who said, as mentioned in the question, that the intention is purity and that it is sufficient no matter in what manner we perform ablution, we say: No, this is a false statement. It is necessary that the ablution be performed in the manner that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did and explained to his Ummah. Yes.
