what is wuzu?

Post by transferedposts »

wuzu or wudu


Muslim practice of ablution (ceremonial washing) before salat (prayer), as a mark of respect for God and in preparation for worship.

After niyyah (turning to God in mind), the hands, mouth, nostrils, face, arms, head, neck, ears, and feet are washed.

At certain times, such as after childbirth or menstruation, a full bath (ghsul) is taken.
