I sometimes do it by acident and it's not far in the opposite direction, just a few centimetres like 2 or 3cm. Is this permissible during arm washing and face washing? Also, if it's a full unintentional opposite direction wipe , would this invalidate the wudhu? The reason I ask the second question is I am also trying to find out the delineation of an accident becoming a leeway during wudhu wiping Jazakallah I hope Allah makes things easy for you.

So i have two questions, first regarding istibra and second regarding masah. Here goes.. 76. If a person performs Istibra, and also performs Wudhu, and if after Wudhu he sees a liquid discharged, of which he knows that it is either urine or semen, it will be obligatory upon him to do Ghusl, together with Wudhu. But if he had not done Wudh u after Istibra, then Wudhu alone will be sufficient. I did'nt quite understand this law, what does this mean. Why is ghusl required in the above condition?? Why can't i just wash my privies and do wudhu again?? And the second question. i was searching about wudu and i saw some people saying (on shiachat) that masah water should not mix with washing water. For example, if i do masah of head then i should stop few cm before hairline. But i've seen many videos and no one has ever discussed this thing, some even went to the hairline (when doing masah). So is this thing mustahab or wajib? Does it render wudu void (if water mixes) ?? How exactly can i stop water of masah from flowing into water of washing (because a drop or two may flow to the face). Please help me because i have to do wudu atleast 3 times due to this "mixing of water" issue. Also cite any reference or hadith and saying of Imam about this issue. Thanks in advance.

Questioner one of the different cases between Shiite and Sunni is the quality of performing wudu. like: wiping feet or washing it . I want you to make it clear that whether Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] Commander of Faithful [AS] would perform wudu like Shiite or Sunni? I 'd appreciate if you search about Sunni 's reliable hadiths to make this matter clear for adolescents like me SHORT ANSWER: The verse of ablution in Holly Quran has expressed clearly how to perform wudu .some of sunni scholars like: Ibn hazm, have emphasized that Quran 's decree is " wiping" and at the bottom of the verse of wudu, they have quoted the method of great companions like: Commander of faithful, ibn abbas and some other one who believed in touching SEARCHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUNNI NARRATIONS: it 's written in Sunni resources like: “musnad Ahmad” ibn hanbal, “al,mosannaf” Ibn abi sheibah, “sunan” ibn maje and some of their other resources that Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and Commander of faithful, would touch their head and hands. so, Shiite 's wudu is in accordance with their[ prophet’s and Ali[AS] methods and traditions. These narrations have been confirmed by Sunni scholars some other narrations witch are opposing this issue: whether their documents have problem or they can 't stand against Holy Quran and valid narrations when it comes to opposition. and the act of companions shows the invalidity of these opposing narrations. DETAILED ANSWER "wudu" is one of the important obligations in Islam. performing the obligation of prayer without "Wudu" or its substitute [ tayamum , ghosl ] is not correct and won 't be accepted by god almighty. يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا إِذا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ وَ امْسَحُوا بِرُؤُسِكُمْ وَ أَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُباً فَاطَّهَّرُوا وَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضى‏ أَوْ عَلى‏ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغائِطِ أَوْ لامَسْتُمُ النِّساءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا ماءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعيداً طَيِّباً فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَ أَيْديكُمْ مِنْهُ ما يُريدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ وَ لكِنْ يُريدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَ لِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (مائده/6) O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks there is difference between Muslims in how to perform Wudu. one of these differences is how to touch or wash our feet the view of Shiite according to this verse and valid narrations from prophet Muhammad [pbuh] and Ahl Al-bayt [as] is this that, feet must be touched , because this sentence [wash your faces and your hands up to the elbow ] is the factor of the word [feet] and the word [ feet] refers to the word [heads] ,in this case the meaning of verse is this:" wipe your feet and heads" thus, the verdict of head and feet is "WIPE “ on the other hand some of valid narrations from prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and his Ahl Al-bayt confirm this opinion of Shiite and indicate that prophet [PBUH] would perform wudu like this so, the act of Shiite is accordance with Holy Quran 's decree and the method of prophet [PBUH]. some of narrations of Ahl Al-bayt[as] which are related to wipe feet and head were searched in separated files. ACCORDING TO SHIITE NARRATIONS, IF FEET ARE WASHED OR WIPED WHILE PERFORMING WUDU? The view of some Sunni is that feet are washed. their main reason is this that the word [feet] is object for the word [wash] which is in previous sentence.it means they believe that the word [washing] is the factor for the word {feet} not the word [wipe] which in the same sentence. in response to the misconception of these guys, Ibn Al-hazm a sunni famous scholar says: سْأَلَةٌ وأما قَوْلُنَا في الرِّجْلَيْنِ فإن الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ بِالْمَسْحِ (وَامْسَحُوا برؤوسكم ((برءوسكم)) وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ) وَسَوَاءٌ قرىء (قرئ) بِخَفْضِ اللاَّمِ أو بِفَتْحِهَا هِيَ على كل حَالٍ عَطْفٌ على الرؤوس (الرءوس) إمَّا على اللَّفْظِ وإما على الْمَوْضِعِ لاَ يَجُوزُ غَيْرُ ذلك لأنه لاَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُحَالَ بين الْمَعْطُوفِ وَالْمَعْطُوفِ عليه بِقَضِيَّةٍ مُبْتَدَأَةٍ وَهَكَذَا جاء عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالْمَسْحِ يَعْنِي في الرِّجْلَيْنِ في الْوُضُوءِ وقد قال بِالْمَسْحِ على الرِّجْلَيْنِ جَمَاعَةٌ من السَّلَفِ منهم عَلِيُّ بن أبي طَالِبٍ وابن عَبَّاسٍ وَالْحَسَنُ وَعِكْرِمَةُ وَالشَّعْبِيُّ وَجَمَاعَةٌ وغيرهم (غيرهم) وهو قَوْلُ الطَّبَرِيِّ but our opinion about feet ' s decree is this that, wiping feet has been sent down in Holy Quran it means what is written in Quran is this that feet must be wiped. the word [feet] whether its fourth letter is majroor [feet]or with fathe [feet ]in both cases it refers to [heads] , this reference is whether to the word or place [if it refers to the word [heads] , since its Erab is majroor (heads) , the word [feet] must be read majroor (feet) and if it refers to the place of [heads] since the word "heads" is in the position of subject , and its Erab is mansoob," feet" must be read mansoob (feet]and any thing except what was told is incorrect, because a new matter could not be raised between referred word and reference and it 's been quoted by "Ibn Abbas" according to "Holy Quran" feet 's decree is wiping a group of ancients like :Ali [as] , Ibn Abas , Hasan basri, Akrame, shabi and some other one believe in touching feet.

REVIWEING THE NARRATION: CONTRADICTORY WITH OTHER NARRATIONS This narration is in contradictory with Quran and other narrations that were cited at the first of the article. “ SEARCHING ABOUT PROPHET wudu. FINAL RESULT VALID narrations that were quoted from Sunni’ sources prove that, Prophet Mohammad [ PBUH] and Commander of faithful [AS] would wipe their feet in wudu but opposing narrations : FIRSTLY: most of them are weak in term of document. SECONDLY: even if their documents are valid , they are in contradictory with Quran and other valid narrations and can not stand against them And important point is this that some opposing narrations have been quoted by one person. Like Hamran Ibn Aban narration that quote “ Osman’s” wudu THIRDLY: some of Prophet’s companions like : Commander of faithful [ AS ] Ibn Abbas and folowers and many of Sunni scholars believe in TOUCHING feet . so any Muslim person should do accordance with Qurans’ order and Prophet’s[PBUH] and Ahl Al-bayt’s orders.
