Changing the intention in wudu' does not invalidate the wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man left his house in a state of ritual purity, and when he reached the mosque, he wanted to change his intention for the wudu'. Nevertheless, he entered the mosque. So, does changing the intention in wudu'—O Shaykh—invalidate the wudu' there?
I ask you: A man prayed the midday prayer, and when he finished the closing salam, he said: "I testify to you that I have invalidated my prayer. Is it invalidated or not?" It is not invalidated.
Likewise, with wudu', when a person finishes the act of worship, he cannot invalidate it; because nothing invalidates acts of worship except apostasy, may Allah protect us from it, if he dies upon his apostasy.Take this as a rule: During the act of worship, the worship is invalidated if one intends to exit from it, except for Hajj and 'Umrah. If a person intends to exit from them, he remains in his state of ihram until he completes it.
