The ruling on one who performs wudu after the 'Asr prayer on Friday in order to pray for the sake of supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The honorable Shaykh! A man usually prays the sunnah of wudu, but he performed wudu after the 'Asr prayer on Friday in order to pray for the sake of supplication. What is your opinion?
This is not permissible. If it is not a person's habit to pray when he performs wudu, but he performs wudu in order to pray, then it is forbidden for him to pray if he performs wudu; because the prayer that has no cause at this time is forbidden.
And performing wudu for a forbidden act is forbidden, so it is not permissible to perform wudu in order to pray. If it were permissible to perform wudu to pray, the prohibition would have no benefit. But if it is not his habit to go to the mosque, and on Friday he performs wudu and goes to the mosque, then there is nothing wrong with that. He prays the greeting of the mosque and supplicates as he wishes.
