Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, a man doubts his wudu; he is unsure whether he performed it two or three times. What should he do?
The Shaykh : The doubt does not harm him.
The questioner : Because he fears that he added to it, which would fall under the hadith:Sunan an-Nasa'i 140Hasan (Darussalam)?
The Shaykh : There is no intention.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is easy; it is not a prayer with a limited number of rak'ahs such that if one is missing or extra, he must either make up the missing one or prostrate for the extra one.
