HOW TO PERFORM WUDOO |
|
It is compulsory to perform Wudoo for all the wjib Salat,
with the exception of Salat al-Mayyit (Salat for the dead). In Wudoo, we wash
our face and hands and wipe our head and the top of our feet, this section will
take you through the steps involved in performing the Wudoo |
|
Step 1 |
|
 |
 |
|
First we must say the Neeya (intention)
then the face must be washed from the top of the forehead, the place where the
hair grows, until the bottom of the chin. The width of the face that must be
washed is the distance between the tip of the thumb to the top of the middle
finger. we must wash our face from top to bottom |
|
Step 2 |
 |
 |
|
After washing our face then we wash our
right arm, from slightly above the elbow down to our fingertips. this too must
be washed from top to bottom |
|
Step 3 |
 |
 |
|
After our right arm we must wash our
left arm; again from above the elbow down to the fingertips, and from top to
bottom |
|
Step 4 |
 |
 |
|
After these washings are completed, with
the water that is on our right hand we have to wipe the top of our heads (from
about the distance of one finger). we must not take any extra water for this.
|
|
Step 5 |
 |
 |
|
We then proceed to wipe our right foot
with our right hand, from the top of our toes up to the ankle bone with the
water that is remaining in our right hand. Again we must not take any extra
water |
|
Step 6 (Final Step) |
 |
 |
|
To finish we wipe our left foot with our
left hand from the top of our toes up to the ankle bone with the water that is
remaining on our left hand. The Wudoo is now completed and you are ready
for the Salat. |
