Can I Repeat Wudu? Understanding the Importance and Procedures
Hi again! Completing wudu is an obligation for Muslims. If their wudu is not perfect, it becomes invalid. For this reason, they must ensure that all the obligations of wudu have been carried out. Consequently, a question arises in the minds of those who doubt the perfection of their wudu: Can I repeat wudu?
Regardless of your reason for opening this article, I'm pretty sure you're looking for an explanation about the legality of repeating wudu. Don't worry! I will not let you down today; I promise. That's what I will explain now. So, you just need to read this article to the end!
Why Do You Need to Repeat Wudu?
First, I will explain the reasons why you need to repeat wudu. Understanding this is crucial for grasping the urgency of this discussion. Additionally, some Muslims may not understand it well. I believe you don’t want to be among them, right?
In short, there are two main reasons why you may need to repeat wudu:
- You leave out one or two mandatory steps in wudu.
- You doubt whether you have performed wudu perfectly.
As a Muslim, you certainly understand the importance of performing wudu perfectly. If your wudu is not perfect, you still have small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) on your body that you need to eliminate before performing rituals that require a state of purity.

Below is a hadith that explains the importance of performing wudu perfectly. It is essential to understand it well to grasp the serious consequences of not completing your wudu.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَوْماً يَتَوَضَّؤُوْنَ مِنَ الْمِطْهَرَةِ. فَقَالَ: أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ. فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ
From Abu Hurairah (radliyallahu anhu), he saw people performing wudu with water splashing on their faces. He then said, “Perfect wudu. I have actually heard Abu al-Qasim (Prophet Muhammad) (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) say, 'The Wail Valley in Hell is for the veins above the heels that are not washed with water.'"
The main point of the explanation in the hadith above is that Muslims must perform wudu perfectly, as they cannot perform rituals that require wudu without it. One of these rituals is prayer.
