Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it said that exceeding the mudd in wudu' and exceeding the sa' in ghusl is a forbidden matter, such that the one who exceeds commits a sin?
Answer:
It is a deviation from the Sunnah. If one intentionally exceeds and says, "The sa' is not sufficient, and the mudd is not sufficient," that is forbidden. But if he does not say that, he has made a mistake, but it is not said to be forbidden. Yes.
