  1. The Faraaidh of Wudhu

Faraaidh is the plural of fardh. Fardh and Waajib are synonymous in the parlance of Shaafi’ Fiqh, except in the Ahkaam (Commandments and Laws) of Haj. Whatever acts are fardh in a fardh wudhu are also fardh in a mandoob (mustahab) wudhu.

There are six acts which are fardh in wudhu. They are:

3.1. Intention when washing the face

3.2. To wash the face

3.3. To wash both hands till the elbows

3.4. To make masah of a part of the head

3.5. To wash the feet till the ankles

3.6. To observe the above sequence
