Forgetting the Basmalah at the Beginning of Wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In our previous lesson, we discussed the Basmalah when performing wudu. So, if one forgets to say the Basmalah when starting the wudu, and only remembers it during the wudu, does he say the Basmalah and repeat the wudu, or does he say the Basmalah and complete the wudu?
Answer:
The scholars mentioned that some of them said he should say the Basmalah and start over, while others said he should say the Basmalah and complete the wudu. Perhaps this is the correct view, if Allah wills, that he should say the Basmalah and complete the wudu. Yes.
