Is it permissible to dry the limbs after performing wudu'?

The questioner : Is it permissible to dry the limbs after performing wudu'?

The Shaykh : The answer is yes, it is permissible for a person who has performed wudu' to dry his limbs, and likewise, if he has taken a ghusl, it is permissible for him to dry his limbs. This is because the original ruling for matters other than acts of worship is permissibility, until evidence establishes prohibition. As for the hadith of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) , the fact that he returned the towel to her does not indicate that it is disliked to do so. That is a specific case, and it is possible that there was something in the towel that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not like to wipe himself with, which is why he made it a practice to shake the water off with his hand. One might say: Bringing the towel to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by Maymunah is evidence that this was a permissible and well-known matter among them, otherwise there would have been no reason for her to bring the towel. The most important thing is to know the rule we mentioned, which is that the original ruling for matters other than acts of worship is permissibility, until evidence establishes prohibition. Yes.
