What is the ruling on drying oneself during wudu' and ghusl?

Question:
If he washes his hands and feet, his sins fall away with the water, or with the last drop of water. Does this indicate that it is better not to dry oneself so that the sins fall away?

Answer:
The falling away of sins occurs during the ghusl, and this is after that. When he washes, the sins fall away as mentioned in the hadith, but if he dries himself afterwards, that is remaining moisture.
Q: Is drying oneself established only in the ghusl?
A: What is known is in the ghusl, from the hadith of Maymunah.
Q: In the second hadith, it says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not habitually dry his limbs after wudu', and no hadith was authentically reported from him regarding that at all; rather, what was authentically reported from him is the opposite?
A: I do not know of anything in this, neither drying nor not drying. It was only mentioned in the ghusl: a towel was brought to him, and he turned it away and began to shake the water off with his hands. As for wudu', I do not recall anything about it; the matter is broad in it.
Q: In the ghusl, is it better not to dry oneself?
A: That is it, yes. He shakes the water off with his hands, as in the hadith of Maymunah in the Sahih.
Q: And he began to shake the water off with his hands?
A: This is the sunnah (recommended practice).
Q: Shaking off the water, does it not remove it?
A: This is the sunnah (recommended practice): shaking the water off with his hands and not rubbing oneself.
