Wudu

[Ramadan90]

:sl:,

Do you wash the hands/arms/feets/mouth/face at least three times or maximum three times?

[Samiun]

:sl: ^ Isn't it only sunnah to do 3x but you can only wash 1x?

[Pure Purple]

I wash it 3 three times.
Washing once is obligatory and 3 times sunnah.

Some things that are not considered as desirable in Wudu are known as Makruhat. These are:

1. Performing Ablution at a dirty place
2. Blowing one’s nose with the right hand
3. Talking worldly affairs while performing Ablution
4. Performing Ablution in a manner contrary to Sunnah

****@@@@@Quick side point, the intention is already present when you are on the way to the restroom or wudoo area, think about it, time for salah comes in, on your way to the bathroom because you know you broke your wudoo, so its present and there is no need to mention the intention cuz its there already. There is no formula whatsoever to say your intention it is an innovation of which one should stay completely away from it.
