Forgetting to wipe the ears during wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If one forgets to wipe the ears during wudu', is it obligatory for him to repeat the wudu' in its entirety?
Answer:
If he remembers it soon and his limbs are not yet dry, he wipes his ears and completes whatever remains of the wudu', building upon what he has already washed and what preceded it in the wudu'. This is because his limbs are still wet. However, if his limbs have dried, he must repeat the wudu' from the beginning. Yes.
