Is the wudu' valid if one starts with the feet?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The question is from a brother. A man performed wudu' and started with his feet, then wiped his head, then washed his hands from the elbows, then washed his face. What do you say? Is his wudu' valid or not?

Answer : In the name of Allah, he intended to perform wudu' and started with the first part. Well done, he started with his feet, then his head, then his hands, then his face. Is it accepted or not? It is not accepted, because it contradicts the Shari'ah in its manner.
