Uncertainty about my wudhu

09 Nov 2021 Ref-No#: 3979

After wudu I get doubts on wether I forgot to wash a certain ligament or not, does this require renewal of wudu ? Also I follow the hanafi madhab.

Assalāmuʿalaykum Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh

The Jurists have stated:

“That in which lies certainty, its status cannot be affected by (a mere) doubt”.

The following rulings are premised on the above:

  • If one was certain about being in the state of Wuḍū, and thereafter began doubting the validity of it, then his Wuḍū would remain intact.
  • If one was not certain with regards to the validity of his Wuḍū, then he will have to perform Wuḍū again.
