Ruling on resuming wudu' after interrupting it for a reason
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the interruption of intention in worship: at the university, we begin wudu', then the bell rings, then one intends to stop the wudu', then learns that the teacher will not attend, so one returns to the wudu'. Does one complete it or resume it?
If one intends to interrupt an act of worship, such as wudu' or anything else, while it is in progress, it becomes invalid. If one then wishes to return to it, one must start over from the beginning. So, if one begins wudu' and then the bell rings—as you asked—and one intends to stop the wudu', but then decides to complete it because the professor is delayed, one must resume the wudu' from the beginning.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Actions are only by intentions, and every person will have only what he intended), and this person has intended to interrupt, so it is interrupted.
