Is it permissible to dry the limbs of water after performing wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I read in a book that it is not recommended for the one performing wudu' to shake the water off his hands after wudu'. Does this mean that it is not recommended to dry the rest of the body parts used for wudu', or is it permissible? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, one should leave the trace of water on the limb and should not dry it or shake it off, so that the trace of water remains on the limbs. This is not forbidden; drying oneself or shaking one's hands is not a problem. However, this is a matter of preference; it is preferable to leave the water on one's limbs. If one needs to dry oneself, there is no harm in doing so, or even if one dries oneself without need, there is no harm in that. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
