Believers! When you rise to pray, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbow, and wipe your heads and wash your feet to the ankle. And if you are [ceremonially] unclean, bathe yourselves. But if you are sick or on a journey, or when, you have just relieved yourselves or had intercourse with women, you find no water, take some clean mud and wipe your faces and your hands with it. God does not wish to burden you; He seeks only to purify you and to perfect His favour to you so that you may express gratitude.

(Quran 5:6)

The method of doing wudu that is mentioned in these verses is that:

– first the face shall be washed and;

– the hands up to the elbows and;

– after that the whole of the head shall be wiped and;

– after that the feet shall be washed.

The uswa of the Prophet (sws) is following in this regard:

– First, he would clean his teeth and;

– then start with wudu from the right side.

– He would begin by washing both hands and then rinsing the mouth three times.

– He would then pour water in his nose three times and thoroughly clean his nose.

– Then he would wash his face three times and run fingers through his beard;

– then he would wash his hands till the elbows and;

– then he would take water separately and wipe the head and with it clean the ears from the inside and the outside. The manner in which he would wipe his head would be that he would take both his hands from the forehead right to the back of his head and then would bring them back.

– He would then wash his right foot first and then the left.

– Sometimes, the Prophet (sws) would wash the limbs just one or two times in wudu.
