Drying oneself after ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any contradiction with the Sunnah in drying oneself after ablution?
Answer:
Drying oneself after ablution is permissible, and it is better to do so. Doing so is permissible, because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and one of his wives came to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) dried himself, which indicates that it is preferable to dry oneself so that the effect of the worship remains on him.
