Question:
The questioner also asks in his questions: Honorable Shaykh, if a person leaves out a sunnah of the wudu', is the wudu' valid?
Answer:
Yes. If the sunnah is such that its doer is rewarded and he is not punished for leaving it, then if he leaves out a sunnah of the wudu', such as washing the face three times and the hands three times, or emptying the water from the limbs, this is a sunnah. Similarly, starting with the right hand before the left, and the right foot before the left, this is a sunnah. So if he leaves out this sunnah, his wudu' is valid. The obligatory and fard is one washing; anything more than that is a recommended sunnah. Yes.
