The ruling on sufficing with one wash for the limbs of wudu' and the ruling on exceeding three
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In a third question, he asks: Does one wash suffice when washing the elbows in wudu', or is it necessary to wash them three times?
The Shaykh:
One wash is necessary, but anything beyond that, whether two or three washes, is recommended. Yes.
The questioner:
And if one wipes the head once, does that suffice?
The Shaykh:
Wiping the head is done once and is not repeated.
The questioner:
And if one exceeds three washes in his wudu', does he sin?
The Shaykh:
Yes, O Sam.
The presenter:
This is the end of the question; it is the third one.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he sins if he exceeds three. Exceeding three is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Yes.
