The ruling on performing wudu before Maghrib, praying two rak'ahs, reciting the Qur'an, and seeking forgiveness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message was received for the program from one of the female listeners. She says: Your sister in Allah, Umm Ahmad, from al-'Aziziyah. Umm Ahmad has a collection of questions, one of which is: If I perform wudu half an hour or a quarter of an hour before the Maghrib prayer, and I pray two rak'ahs for the wudu, and I sit to recite the Qur'an and seek forgiveness until the adhan for Maghrib comes, is my action correct?
Answer:
Yes, it is a good action, because wudu is a great act of worship, and Allah has prescribed for the one who performs wudu to pray two rak'ahs, which is the sunnah of wudu. So if I perform wudu, even after 'Asr, and I pray the two rak'ahs, the sunnah of wudu, then all of this is good. And if you wait for the Maghrib prayer by reciting tasbih, tahmid, and takbir, then that is a great good. Allah the Exalted says: [Q:39]. So tasbih at the end of the day is a great act of drawing near to Allah, and likewise at the beginning of the day. The day begins with tasbih, tahmid, tahlil, and seeking forgiveness, and it ends in the same way. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
