Asalam aleykum What is the islamic logic behind spoiling Wudhuu through poluting air because nothing is washed or cleaned

Answer

The order of performing wudhu and its relevant rules and principals is similar to the order of performing salaah and its relevant rules and principle-times for salaah, number of rakaats (units), and categories of salaah. We, as slaves of Allah, are required to submit and express our subjugation to our master Allah, by obeying His instructions. Our submission does not depend on understanding the wisdoms and logic behind His instructions. Allah is All wise and He orders us to perform acts of worship which is filled with wisdom. Our limited minds and deficient understanding may not be able to comprehend the wisdoms and logic behind the order. However, the passing of wind invalidating wudhu is understood as particals of impurity exiting from the body, (resulting in polluting the air) similar to urine, etc. In brief, the Fuqaha (Jurists) have categorised such rulings as Ghair Mudrak-BIL - Raai (cannot be perceived by ones mind).
