If I finish wudu and then doubt whether I washed a limb, do I repeat?
Question
If I finish wudu and then doubt whether I washed a limb, do I repeat?
Answer
If the doubt comes after you have finished and left the place of wudu, the original completion is relied upon and you do not repeat. If the doubt is during the washing, you return to the limb you are unsure of and continue in order. The religion is not built on whispering.
