MCQ Detailed View

In Islam, Wudu (ablution) is a necessary act of purification before performing Salah (prayer) and other acts of worship. According to the Quran and Islamic jurisprudence, there are four Farz (obligatory) acts in Wudu. These are clearly mentioned in Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:6), which outlines the essential steps required for valid Wudu.

The four Farz of Wudu are:

1. 
   

   Washing the face — from the hairline to the chin and from ear to ear.

   
   


2. 
   

   Washing both arms — up to and including the elbows.

   
   


3. 
   

   Wiping a portion of the head — known as Masah.

   
   


4. 
   

   Washing both feet — up to and including the ankles.

   
   

If any of these four acts are missed, the Wudu is considered invalid. Other actions like intention (niyyah), washing hands, rinsing the mouth, and nose are Sunnah (recommended) but not obligatory. These Sunnah acts complete the Wudu and bring more reward, but the four Farz are the minimum requirement for Wudu to be valid.

Understanding the Farz of Wudu is essential for every Muslim, especially those preparing for Islamic exams or seeking to improve their religious knowledge.
