THE METHOD OF PERFORMING WUDOO

Wudoo in the Arabic Language: Wudoo is the action, and wadoo the water used therefore and it is also a verbal noun; or they are two forms of the same word, both meaning the verbal-noun and maybe both referring also to the water used.

Wudoo in the Sharee’ah: Wudoo is using clean and cleansing (Tuhoor) water upon certain body parts as Allaah ta’ala has prescribed and explained.

The Prescription of Wudoo in The Kitaab And Sunnah

Allaah ta’ala says: O Ye who believe! When ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles [Soorat-ul-Maa’idah, 5:7]

1. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahu’anhu) said: Rasoolullah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: The Prayer of anyone of you breaching purification is not accepted unless he makes wudoo. [Al-Bukhaaree, (Fathul-Baaree, 1/206), Muslim (no.225) and others].

2. Ibn ‘Umar (radhiAllaahu ‘anhumaa) said: Indeed I heard Rasoolullah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) say: Allaah does not accept Prayer without purification, nor Sadagah from illegally attained wealth. [Muslim (V160) and others].

3. Ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiAllaahu ‘anhumaa) said: Rasolullah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: Verily I have been ordered to make wudoo when I stand for Prayer. [Saheeh. Reported by Abu Dawood (no.3760); at-Tirmidhee (no.1848), and he declared it to be ‘hasan-saheeh’: an-Nasaa.ee (1/73). And Shaikh al-Albaanee declares it to be ‘saheeh’ (‘Saheehul-Jaami’, no.2333)].
