I am very lazy and I perform wudu only by washing each part once? Is my wudu walid?
Question
I know it is Sunna to wash three times each part (i.e. hands, face and feet). But it is also permissible, infact sunna to do it is once or twice as well (each part)? But now I am worried fearing that wudu like this is not valid and that my salah is also not valid. Assure me that my wudu is valid and that my salah is valid? I have been doing wudu like this for about 2 years.
Answer
The Wudhu will be valid if the limbs are washed only one time. The Sunnah practice is to wash the limbs three times.
It is contrary to the Sunnah to habitually wash the limbs only one time.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
