The ruling on saying the tahlil when washing the face during wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to say "La ilaha illa Allah" when washing the face and during wudu? Or is it not required?
Answer:
This is not prescribed; it has no basis. However, one says "Bismillah" at the beginning of wudu, when one first starts to perform wudu, and after finishing, one says:Sunan Ibn Majah 469.
As for saying it during wudu, at the limbs of wudu, this is not prescribed. But if one says it without intending that it is prescribed, because one loves the remembrance of Allah, there is no harm in it, by way of loving the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). But to believe that it is prescribed to say it when washing the hands, when washing the face, there is no evidence for this. Rather, this belief is a religious innovation. But one recites the two testimonies after finishing wudu; when one finishes, one says:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 55Da'if (Darussalam), this is a recommended practice.
And in the other hadith, it says:Sunan Abi Dawud 4859Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) after wudu as well, like the dhikr when one rises from a gathering, Sunan Abi Dawud 4859Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani), all of this is recommended after wudu.
It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1:230 -or he said: Mishkat al-Masabih 289, narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. The Imam al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) added to this hadith at its end: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 55Da'if (Darussalam), and this addition is authentic, yes.

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسولهAs for saying it during wudu, at the limbs of wudu, this is not prescribed. But if one says it without intending that it is prescribed, because one loves the remembrance of Allah, there is no harm in it, by way of loving the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He).

But one recites the two testimonies after finishing wudu; when one finishes, one says:
I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone, there are no partners for Him. And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah! Make me among the repentant, and make me among those who purify themselves.
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله، اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهرينAnd in the other hadith, it says:
Glory be to Thee. O Allah, and I begin with praise of Thee, I testify that there is no god but Thou; I ask Thy pardon, and return to Thee in repentance.
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك اللهم وأتوب إليكGlory be to Thee. O Allah, and I begin with praise of Thee, I testify that there is no god but Thou; I ask Thy pardon, and return to Thee in repentance.
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك اللهم وأتوب إليكIt is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
None of you performs wudu and completes the wudu
ما منكم من أحد يتوضأ فيبلغ الوضوءperforms the ablution completely*, then says, ‘I testify that there in no god but God and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger’ (a version giving, ‘I testify that there is no god but God alone who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger’), the eight gates of paradise will be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes.
يسبغ الوضوء ثم يقول: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله إلا فتحت له أبواب الجنة الثمانية، يدخل من أيها شاءO Allah! Make me among the repentant, and make me among those who purify themselves.
