As for its obligatory duties, there are six: washing the face, including rinsing the mouth and nose, in length from the hairline to the chin, and in width to the branches of the ears, washing the hands up to the elbows, wiping the entire head, including the ears, washing the feet up to the ankles, arrangement (1), and guardianship (2). And the evidence is the Almighty’s saying: O you who have believed, when you stand for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles. [Al-Ma’idah:6],The ranking guide is recent:“Begin with what God began with.” The evidence for loyalty is the hadith of the author of Al-Lum’a on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, that when he saw a man with a speck of the size of a dirham on his foot that had not been touched by water, he ordered him to repeat it. (1) Because God Almighty said in the verse about the table:{O you who have believed, when you stand for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles} [ Al-Ma'idah: 6].And because God Almighty arranged it, it is necessary to arrange it as God arranged it, so it begins with what God began, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, performed ablution as God explained, so we must perform ablution as God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, performed ablution. (2) That he performs ablution successively before his limbs dry, and the evidence for this is that when he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, saw a man with a sparkle the size of a dirham on his foot that had not been touched by water, he commanded him to repeat the prayer and ablution, and the hadith is authentic. It was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih, and it was included by Abu Dawud with an authentic chain of transmission, so it indicates that it is necessary to be consistent. He, peace and blessings be upon him, did not say to him, “Wash the place where the shine is.” Rather, he ordered him to repeat the ablution and prayer. Therefore, continuity in ablution is necessary. If he washes his limbs and face, and the leg remains If he stays for a long time until the limbs are dry, he should repeat the ablution. Because he did not follow through.
