Question asked by .
Answered by Dr. Shehzad Saleem
Question:

When we make Wudū, we wash some of our body parts three times. Why are we advised to wash a part of our body three times each? Can we wash it more than three times?



Answer:

We can wash the specified body parts any number of times during Wudū. The actual directive is to wash the parts thoroughly and completely1. Since washing a body part three times generally cleans it thoroughly, this number has been specified.
