The Shaykh : Regarding the mention of Allah's name during ablution:
If one authenticates the hadith concerning it, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani) then it becomes obligatory, and the ablution is not valid without it.
And if one does not authenticate it, he does not consider the mention of Allah's name obligatory. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said about this hadith: "Nothing is established in this chapter". If nothing is established in it, the original state is that the conscience is clear. However, it is better to mention Allah's name as a precaution. If one leaves out the mention of Allah's name, even intentionally, his ablution is valid. Yes.
