How do I perform wudu?
To perform wudu you begin with the intention, wash the hands, rinse the mouth and nose, wash the face, then the arms to the elbows, wipe the head and ears, and wash the feet to the ankles.
- Intention and handsMake the intention for wudu, say Bismillah, and wash both hands up to the wrists three times, working between the fingers.
- Mouth and noseRinse the mouth three times, then draw water into the nose and blow it out three times.
- Face and armsWash the whole face three times from hairline to chin and ear to ear, then wash the right arm to the elbow three times and the left the same way.
