Nullification of Wudu

Vomit
If in doubt of whether or not one has
passed wind
Actions that require Wudu
Any type of ritual prayer
(obligatory, voluntary, funeral, etc) (wudu is recommended before making
duas)

Touching a copy of the Quran
Wiping over the socks
 Sunnah to wipe over socks
 If one puts on socks in a state of purity
(wudu/ghusl) he can wipe over the socks next
time he does wudu. He can wipe over the socks
for one day and night if not traveling and for
three days and nights if traveling.
 Wiping must be done on top of the sock (not
underneath the sock)
What invalidates the wiping?
End of permissible time for wiping
Post-sex impurity
Removal of sock
Misc. points regarding Wudu
 Permissible to speak during wudu as nothing
prohibits this from the sunnah
 Sunnah to perform wudu before every salah
 For wudu to be valid, all required parts must be
completely washed. If any barrier/substance of
weight (like wax, ring, etc) is found on body, it
must be removed so that water can reach that
area.
Significance of Wudu
 The body parts washed during wudu will be radiant on
the day of judgment
 The sins of the believer are washed away with the
performing of Wudu
(sins of eyes are washed away when washing the face, sins of feet are washed
away when washing the feet and so on)
 Allah loves those who purify themselves
 Whoever does perfect wudu and then says the testimony
of faith, the doors of Jannah will open for him
