Question:
The questioner: If a man performs wudu' and forgets one of the limbs, then remembers it shortly after, what does he do?
Answer:
If the sequence has not been broken, meaning the limbs have not dried and are still wet, then he washes the limb and whatever comes after it; he washes the limb he left out and whatever comes after it, but he does not wash what came before it, because the sequence is still present and has not been broken. However, if the limbs have dried and a long time has passed, he must repeat the wudu' from the beginning because the sequence has been lost. Yes.
