The answer: The etiquette of ablution (wudu) includes many aspects, such as: 1. To face the Qibla during ablution. 2. To combine the intention of the heart with the action of the tongue. 3. To perform ablution before the time for the prayer, unless one has an excuse. 4. To perform ablution for each prayer, even if one is already in a state of ablution; because ablution upon ablution is light upon light, and it purifies sins. 5. To perform ablution in a pure place. 6. To rub the parts of the body that are washed during ablution. 7. To move a wide ring, but if it is tight, it must be removed or moved. 8. To insert the little finger into the ear canals. 9. To rinse the mouth and inhale water through the nose with the right hand, and to blow the nose with the left hand; as narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "The right hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was for purification and food, and his left hand was for cleaning himself and anything that was unpleasant," in Sunan Abu Dawood 1/55, and Sha'b al-Iman 5/77. 10. Not to seek assistance from others during ablution; if assistance is sought, it is not disliked. As narrated by Usama ibn Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him): "He was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when he poured water from Arafah, and when he reached the valley, he dismounted, then went to relieve himself. When he returned, I poured water on him from the water skin, and he performed ablution, then mounted and went to Muzdalifah where he combined the Maghrib and Isha prayers," in Sahih Muslim 2: 936. 11. Not to speak during ablution with the words of people, except for the supplications that are said when washing each part; because ablution is similar to prayer. 12. To keep one's clothes from dripping. 13. To sprinkle water on the face without slapping; so that the used water does not splash onto one's clothes, as it is preferable to avoid this. 14. To sit in a high place; this is to avoid the used water splashing onto one's clothes. 15. To drink something from the excess water of ablution while facing the Qibla and standing; as narrated by Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "He prayed Dhuhr, then sat to attend to the needs of the people in the courtyard of Kufa until the time for Asr prayer came. Then he was brought water, so he drank and washed his face and hands — and he mentioned: his head and feet — then he stood and drank the excess while standing, and then said that some people dislike drinking while standing, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) did what I did," in Sahih al-Bukhari 5: 2130. 16. To pray two rak'ahs after completing ablution; as narrated by Uqbah ibn Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "We were in charge of tending the camels, and when my turn came, I took them back in the evening. I caught up with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was standing and talking to the people, and I heard him say: 'No Muslim performs ablution and does it well, then stands to pray two rak'ahs with a focused heart and face, except that Paradise becomes obligatory for him.' I said: 'How excellent this is,'" in Sahih Muslim 1: 209. 17. Not to use less water for ablution than a mudd, by being stingy and reducing the water to the point that it approaches the limit of oil, and the dripping should not be apparent; rather, it should be evident. 18. To invoke Allah when washing each part with the supplications narrated from the predecessors, for these supplications, even if there is no hadith from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding them, are acceptable as long as we do not attribute them to the Prophet (peace be upon him), especially since they have been reported from the predecessors, and they fall under the general command to remember Allah, and there is no prohibition regarding them. The only authentic sayings from the Prophet are the two testimonies and the saying: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You; there is no deity but You; I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You," after completing ablution, while the rest are reported from the predecessors.
