Learn Rulings on Ablution, i.e. Wudu’
Linguistically speaking, wudu’ is derived from a root that connotes ‘good looking, cleanliness and brightness’, while in Islamic contexts it means ‘the use of water in respect of four organs, the face, arms, head and feet, in a particular way defined by Islam with the intention of worship.’[1] Performing ablution is obligatory when one wishes to pray or do a similar act of worship, such as tawaf around the Ka'bah.
