The ruling on repeating wudu' without a reason
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Repeating wudu': Abu 'Adil says he does it more than three times. Is there anything wrong with that? Does it invalidate the wudu', or should he repeat the wudu' a second time?
Answer:
It is not permissible to repeat wudu' unless it has been invalidated or he intends to renew it. There are two cases: either he wants to renew the wudu', meaning he has prayed one or more prayers in it and then renews it for future prayers; this is impossible. Or it has been invalidated, in which case he performs wudu' anew because the first wudu' is invalid. As for repeating it due to obsessive doubts (waswas), this is not permissible and is prohibited. He should not repeat it unless his wudu' has been invalidated. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
