Exceeding three washes in the ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Often, a man sends two [prayers] for more than three Ramadan [fasts]. After this, the number of ablutions increases, and he prostrates for only three Ramadan [fasts] and does not exceed that.

Answer:
Yes, if one exceeds three, it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. The first is a war (struggle), the three are a sunnah (recommended practice), and the fourth is a bid'ah (religious innovation); this is not permissible. Yes.
