The questioner : What is the ruling on the tashahhud during wudu? Is it obligatory or a recommended practice? And is it required to recite it aloud when performing every prayer?
The Shaykh : The tashahhud after wudu is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory, but it carries a great reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a great reward, and a person should not be negligent about it, but it is not obligatory.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
The Shaykh : The tashahhud after wudu is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory, but it carries a great reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no one who performs wudu thoroughly and then says: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, O Allah, make me among those who repent, and make me among those who purify themselves, except that the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will enter from whichever one he wishes.
