Supplication said during Wudu'

Q 1: What is the ruling on performing Wudu' (ablution) without saying Shahadah (Testimony of Faith) after finishing it, or Isti`adhah (seeking refuge with Allah from Satan) when beginning to perform it?


A: Anyone who does not say Shahadah after finishing Wudu' is abandoning an act of the Sunnah, but his Wudu' is still valid. Saying Isti`adhah is not an act of the Sunnah concerning Wudu'. It is prescribed to say Basmalah (saying, "Bismillah [In the Name of Allah]") when performing Wudu'.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
