Is sequence required in dry ablution?

The questioner : Is sequence required in dry ablution?

The Shaykh : The apparent indication of the Sunnah is that sequence is required. The jurists say that if one does not follow the sequence in the case of major ritual impurity, there is no harm, because if the dry ablution is for major ritual impurity, it is permissible to not follow the sequence, since sequence is not required in the full ritual bath, as dry ablution is a substitute for the full ritual bath. However, in the case of minor ritual impurity, sequence is necessary. But it is said that the purity of dry ablution cannot be analogized to the purity of water due to the many differences between them, and attaching a branch to its root requires an agreement that unites them.
