Performing Multiple Salaah With The Same Wudhu
Question
Is it allowed to consciously elongate your wudhu period? Like i have classes and so i do wudhu before class, and pray zuhr and asr with the same wudhu, avoiding going to the bathroom. is this permissible?
Answer
It is permissible to perform multiple Salaats with one Wudhu. However, it is preferable to make a fresh Wudhu for each Salaah.
It is also important to take note that one should not withhold oneself if there is a need to relieve oneself. To perform Salaah with the urge to relieve oneself is Makrooh.
