If a person performs wudu' from the faucet upon waking from sleep, does the prohibition of putting one's hands into the vessel before wudu' apply to him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, it is reported in the Sunnah that one should wash his hands three times after waking from sleep before dipping them into the vessel. There are two questions regarding the application of this: First, does it include...
The Shaykh : And the answer to a single question.
The questioner : It consists of two parts, meaning it is a question with two parts: Does wudu' from the faucet, the "buzbuz," fall under that? One, two, in applying the Sunnah, meaning washing the hands for wudu' three times, does the washing become six washes or three washes? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : All right, as for the faucet, meaning "the buzbuz," you place your hands under it and the water flows, so every flow is considered a wash. This is one point. As for the six washes, no. The three washes before are for cleaning the hands because they are the tool for taking and scooping, and they are not part of the wudu'. For this reason, if a person did not do it and washed his face directly, his wudu' is valid, because washing the hands is not part of the wudu'. Also, if it is assumed that he will not perform wudu', either due to a lack of water or the inability to use it, he washes his hands for the purpose of eating and drinking. Yes, that is correct.

The Shaykh : ... What Allah willed, you have cut the matter short with a statement that silences every orator. Glory be to You, O our Lord, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
