Steps
The Fard Acts of Wudu (Hanafi)
There are four: washing the face, washing the arms including the elbows, wiping a quarter of the head, washing the feet including the ankles.
Intention and Basmalah
One makes the intention for wudu in the heart and says “Bismillāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm”.
Rinsing the Mouth
Water is taken into the mouth with the right hand three times and swirled around (madmadah).
Rinsing the Nose
Water is drawn into the nose with the right hand three times and blown out with the left hand to clean it (istinshaq).
Washing the Face (fard)
The face — from where the hair begins on the forehead to below the chin, and from one earlobe to the other — is washed three times so that no dry spot remains.
Washing the Arms (fard)
First the right arm, then the left, are washed three times including the elbows.
Wiping the Head (fard)
At least a quarter of the head is wiped once with a wet hand; this is what is fard.
Wiping the Ears and the Neck
The inside of the ears is wiped with the index fingers and the back of the ears with the thumbs.
Washing the Feet (fard)
First the right foot, then the left, are washed three times including the ankles, rubbing between the toes with the little finger of the left hand.
Main Things That Break Wudu
Anything coming out of the front or back passage; blood, pus or yellowish fluid coming out of any part of the body and flowing; vomiting a mouthful; sleeping while leaning or lying down; fainting, intoxication; laughing out loud in a prayer that has ruku‘ and sujud.
