Supplication during Wudu

25 April, 2024
Q What Du`a to say during Wudu?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

There is nothing confirmed from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding Du`a during Wudu save the hadith of Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari.


In his famous work, Fiqh As-Sunnah, Sheikh Sayyid Sabiq, elaborates on the subject as follows:

There is nothing confirmed from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding Du`a during Wudu save the hadith of Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari who said, “I came to the Messenger of Allah with water. While he was performing Wudu, I heard him supplicate, ‘O Allah, forgive my sins. Make my residence spacious for me and bless me in my provisions.’ I said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, I heard you supplicating such and such.’ He said, ‘Did I leave anything out?” (Related by An-Nasa’i and Ibn As-Sunni with an authentic chain of transmission)

An-Nawawi includes this event under the chapter, What is to be said after one completes the Wudu, and Ibn as-Sunni has it under, What is to be said when one is in the state of ablution. An-Nawawi holds that both meanings may be implied from the Hadith.

Almighty Allah knows best.
