Ruling on increasing the washing in wudu beyond three times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is increasing the washing of a body part in wudu to more than three times considered a religious innovation or not, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is not permissible, it is not permissible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. The Sunnah is three times or fewer. One time is sufficient, two times is better, and three times is better. In some narrations: Therefore, it is not recommended to increase it; increasing it is not recommended. Yes.
The presenter: Now, if he increases it, O Shaykh, to more than three, four or five times, is it permissible for the person watching this one performing wudu to prevent him?
Answer: No, he should alert him. He should say: Do you see that this is not permissible, or that it is disliked? At the very least, it is disliked with severe dislike. He should alert him.
The presenter: Fine, may Allah reward you with good.

Whoever increases has transgressed, done wrong, and wronged himself.
