Can I Repeat Wudu? The Explanation You're Looking For

Hi again! Completing wudu is an obligation for Muslims. If their wudu is not perfect, then their wudu is invalid. For this reason, they must ensure that all obligations in wudu have been carried out. And because of that, there is one question in the minds of those who doubt about the perfection of the wudu they have done: can I repeat wudu?

Whatever your reason for opening this article, I'm pretty sure you're looking for an explanation of the legality of repeating wudu. Don't worry! I will not let you down today. I promise that. That's what I'm going to explain now. So, you just need to read this article to the end!

Why Do You Need to Repeat Wudu?

First of all, I will explain the reasons why you need to repeat wudu. You have to understand that so that you understand the urgency of this discussion. Apart from that, there are some Muslims who don't understand it well. I think you don't want to be like them, right?

Briefly, there are two main reasons why you need to repeat wudu:

• You leave out 1 or 2 mandatory steps in wudu.
• You doubt whether you have performed wudu perfectly.

As a Muslim, of course you really understand the importance of performing wudu perfectly. If your wudu is not perfect, you still have small hadas on your body that you need to get rid of before you perform the rituals that require you to be in a state of purity during it.

Below is a hadith that explains the importance of performing wudu perfectly. You have to understand it well so that you understand the fatal consequences if you don't complete your wudu.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَوْماً يَتَوَضَّؤُوْنَ مِنَ الْمِطْهَرَةِ . فَقَالَ : أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ . فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ

From Abu Hurairah radliyallahu anhu, he saw people doing wudu with water from their faces for wudu. He then said, “Perfect wudu. I have actually heard Abu al-Qasim (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say, “The Wail Valley in Hell is for the veins above the heels that are not washed with water.”

The main point of the explanation in the hadith above is that Muslims must perform wudu perfectly because they cannot perform rituals that require them to have wudu while performing them. One of them is prayer.
