Mentioning the testimony when washing the face in wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We hear some people, while performing wudu' and when washing their face, say, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" when washing the face. Is this based on any evidence?
Answer:
No, we have told you that there is no supplication or dhikr during wudu'. Everything narrated on this matter has no basis. The only established dhikr is saying "Bismillah" at the beginning and the two testimonies after completing it.
