Question:
Some people are extravagant in their wudu'. What is the Prophetic guidance in this matter, and what is the ruling on doing more than three times in wudu'?
Answer:
It is not permissible to exceed three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, "Do not be extravagant with water." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, is there extravagance in water?" He said, "Yes, even if you are on a flowing river." So, extravagance in wudu' is an excess in worship, and this is not permissible. Yes.
