بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

“In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”

Ruling no 1: If a person stands in the shower & the parts that are necessary to wash for wudhu get wet, then wudhu will be complete, however one will be deprived of the reward for wudhu.

Ruling no 5: Without any need one should not take help from anyone to perform wudhu.

Ruling no 6: Do not wash any limb more than 3 times, this is against the sunnah of our beloved Nabi ﷺ & it will be classed as wasting water which is a sin.
