Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, also, my brother 'Abd al-'Aziz asks: What is your view on exaggerating in washing the limbs more than three times?
Answer:
It is not permissible to increase beyond three times. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and an exaggeration. It is not permissible to increase beyond three times. It is obligatory to do it once, and it is better to do it two or three times. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So it is not permissible to increase beyond three washings for the face, the hands, and the feet. Yes.
