The ruling on washing the face more than three times in wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in is one from the questioner, Umm Abdullah, who asks about the ruling on washing the face more than three times in wudu', and that is for the sake of precaution?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to exceed three. It is obligatory to do it once, and three is a recommended practice (sunnah), and one does not go beyond that. This is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Yes.
