Does Excessive Washing Affect the Validity of Wudu?
Question
Salam, If a person wash a limb many times , filling the jug and pouring 5 times , but with the intention of one washing . Is this valid ?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
If a person pours water over a limb several times by filling the jug separately each time, then according to Islamic jurisprudence each pour will be counted as a separate wash. Merely intending it as one wash does not make them count as a single washing.
However, the wudu will still be valid, but washing more than three times is against the Sunnah.
