Question:
If you perform wudu' and wash one part twice, another three times, and another four times, is the wudu' valid, or is it necessary for the number of washes to be equal? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for the wudu', it is valid because you washed the part completely. As for the number, the minimum is one pass that covers the part. The minimum of the washes for the hands and feet is one pass that covers the part. The recommended practice is two, and the recommended practice is two, and three is better. So, from the obligatory part, the minimum is one, the recommended practice is two, and three is better, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the fourth, it is not permissible.
Because it is an addition to what is prescribed. If a person intentionally washes four times in the wudu' or the wudu', he commits a sin by doing so, because this is considered an innovation in the religion, and it is considered of the ostentation and ambiguity that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. The highest perfection is three times, and the lowest perfection is two times, and the minimum is one time, and praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good and may He do you good.
