Purity: Does Opening and Closing the Faucet During Wudūʾ Affect Its Validity?
English:
Question #111
If someone who performs wuḍū’ opens and closes the faucet while washing his hands and face with the intent of wuḍū’, what is the ruling concerning this act?
Answer #111
There is no problem in doing so and it does not harm the validity of the wuḍū’. However, after washing the left hand and before performing the wiping, if one puts his hand on the wet faucet and the water used for wuḍū’ in the hand is mixed with water which was not used for wuḍū’, wiping with this water (i.e. a mixture of wuḍū’ water and water on the faucet) is not valid.
