Taking new water each time when washing each limb in wudhu
Question
Is it sunnah to use new water each time when washing each limb (when making wudhu)? Or can one take 1 scoop of new water for each limb (in the instance when using a mudd) and rub the limb 3 times? Which way is sunnah?
Answer
When washing the limb thrice, it is sunnah to take new water each time one washes the limb.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
