The Ruling on Exaggeration in the Use of Water During Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person uses a large amount of water in his ablution and full ritual bath, washing the limbs more than necessary. Does this affect the act of worship?
Answer:
Yes, it should not be done. Exaggeration should not be practiced. Some scholars have held that exaggeration in using more than three times is forbidden. The believer should limit himself to three times or less in his ablution and guard against exaggeration in the use of water. This is the obligatory duty, and this is what is prescribed for the believer to be moderate and to guard against exaggeration.
In fact, it is reported that he (peace and blessings be upon him), and in another narration: Sunan an-Nasa'i 140Hasan (Darussalam).
So what is prescribed for the believer is to limit himself to the recommended practice, which is three times or less.

He performed ablution once, once, and twice, twice, and three times, three times
توضأ مرة، مرة، وثنتين ثنتين، وثلاث ثلاثWhoever does more than that has done badly, done to extremes and done wrong.
