Wudu Before a Good Deed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed for a person to perform wudu when he intends to do a good deed, such as calling people to Allah or something else?
Answer:
If he intends to read the Qur'an or intends to call upon Allah the Exalted, it is better for him to perform wudu so that he is in a state of purity, for being in a state of purity is better for worship. As for calling people to Allah and enjoining good and forbidding evil, there is no report that one should perform wudu for that. Yes.
