Does The Spiritual Validity Of Prayer Depend On Performing Wudu Specifically?
If the purpose of Wudu is purification, of body and soul, then why must it only be done in a fixed set of steps using water? If I am already clean through other means, such as showering, dry brushing, or other cleansing rituals, why is that not enough to present myself in a purified state before Allah?
If the goal is to achieve inner and outer purity, then surely the method should not matter as long as the state is achieved. Restricting prayer only to those who perform Wudu implies the act of Wudu itself becomes equal in weight to the prayer it precedes. That creates a contradiction: if Wudu is just a prerequisite, how can it be as significant as the prayer? And if Wudu is more about ritual than outcome, then what exactly are we measuring, purity or conformity?
If I can perform the same physical actions of Wudu without water, and still feel spiritually and physically clean, what makes the presence of water essential, unless we believe water itself carries something mystical?
So we must ask:
-
Can we pray without Wudu if we are already clean?
-
Why is a specific set of steps mandatory before prayer, what is the rationale, not just the rule?
-
If Wudu is essential for prayer, are we saying it holds the same spiritual value as the prayer itself?
