Wiping the neck is not one of the acts of Wudu'

Q: Is it permissible to wipe the neck while performing Wudu' (ablution)? (Part No. 5; Page No. 236) Is such a practice mentioned in the Qur’an and the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him)?


A: All praise be to Allah alone and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family, and Companions.It was not mentioned in the Qur’an or the Sunnah that wiping the neck is one of the obligatory or supererogatory acts of Wudu’. Consequently, it is not permissible to wipe it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
