Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. During wudu', after washing the hands up to the elbows, I moved on to wiping my head, and at that point I noticed that there was a part of my left elbow that water had not reached. His question is: Do I repeat the wudu' at that time, or do I go back to that limb, wash it, and then complete what follows?
Answer:
Yes, you go back to what was missing, complete it, and continue the wudu', because the continuity has not been broken; you are still in the process of wudu', so the continuity is present. Yes.
