What is the recommended amount of water for performing Wudu? I often question the validity of my Wudu and end up repeating it several times, which harms my hair and skin. How can I ensure I am doing it correctly without causing damage?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Hadeeth narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) states: الوضوء بِمُدٍّ والغُسلُ بِصاع) Wudhu is with one Mudd (750 ml of water) and Ghusl is with one Saa' (3litres of water. Wasting water in Wudhu is not good and some Ulama said that it is Haraam.

If you repeat your Wudhu because repeated doubt, you must refrain from that and ignore the repeated doubts.

Does using a leave-in moisturizer or conditioner affect the validity of my Wudhu?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

It would only affect if it creates a barrier that would prevent water from getting to your skin. Otherwise, wudhu' would be valid.

And Allah knows best
Is my Wudhu considered invalid if the top of my foot is not all wet after performing the Masah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Sipping over your feet is part and parcel of Wudhu, which should be by your wet hand on your dry feet. Wiping over your feet does not need to make all your foot wet.

If a few drops of water fall on my feet while performing Wudhu, do I need to dry them before doing Masah? Will my Wudhu be invalid if I choose not to?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you can perform Masah (wiping) on the dry area on your feet, then it is valid, but never do Masah on the water which falled on your feet. If the whole area is wet with that water,b then you need to dry it before performing Masah in it.
'Wassalam.
