Forgetting to wash the hands three times when getting up from a night sleep

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If I get up from a night sleep that invalidates the wudu, and I did not wash my hands three times, but I performed wudu and prayed, and then during the prayer I remembered that, what should I do?

Answer:
Washing the hands when getting up from a night sleep is obligatory according to the majority. This is obligatory. But if you forgot, and you washed all of your hands and nothing was left out of the wudu, and you only forgot to wash them at the beginning—the three times that are outside the wudu, outside the wudu—then its time has passed. Your prayer is valid and your wudu is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
