Is speaking during wudu' disliked?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah preserve you. Regarding speaking during wudu', is it disliked?
The Shaykh : It is not disliked. Speaking during wudu' is not disliked, but in reality, it occupies the one performing wudu'. For the one performing wudu' should, when washing his face, be mindful that he is obeying the command of Allah. And when washing his hands, wiping his head, and washing his feet, he should be mindful of this intention. If someone speaks to him and he speaks with them, this mindfulness is interrupted. It may also disturb him, and perhaps he will experience obsessive doubts because of it. Therefore, it is better that he not speak until he finishes the wudu'. But if he does speak, he owes nothing.
