The Ruling on Performing Wudu in the Mosque

Question : Shaykh, if one performs wudu thoroughly and goes out to the mosque, he is granted a degree for every step he takes. Perhaps a person does not perform wudu at home, for example, if there is a bathroom in the mosque. Is it forbidden to do this?

Answer : The apparent meaning of the hadith is that it is forbidden, because there is a difference between one who leaves his home prepared for prayer and intending it, and a person who comes to the mosque not prepared for prayer.
