Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!

Specifically, there are some important things about “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” which I will explain in this article. Some of the important things I mean are as follows:

Wudu in Islam

The first important thing about “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” what I will explain now is wudu in Islam. I want you to understand that first before you read any more explanations in this article because it is the basics of wudu that must be well understood.

Wudu is a way to remove minor hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ). Wudu is the first and foremost way. If you cannot perform wudu to remove minor hadas, you must perform Tayammum. In other words, Tayammum is the second way.

Minor Hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) is one of the conditions that causes Muslims not to perform certain acts of worship that require them to be in a holy condition while doing it all. The other condition is big hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَكْبَرُ). Minor hadas can be removed by wudu and Tayammum. While major hadas can only be removed with ghusl Janabah.

There are many explanations about wudu in Islamic legal literature, especially in the Quran and hadith. Pay attention to the explanation below:

Quran About Wudu

As for the Quran about wudu what I mean is as follows:

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوْا بِرُءُوْسِكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِۗ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوْاۗ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰٓى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَاۤءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنَ الْغَاۤىِٕطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاۤءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوْا مَاۤءً فَتَيَمَّمُوْا صَعِيْدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوْا بِوُجُوْهِكُمْ وَاَيْدِيْكُمْ مِّنْهُ ۗمَا يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَّلٰكِنْ يُّرِيْدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful. (Al-Maidah [5]: 6).

Specifically, the Quranic verse above explains that if we are going to pray and have a minor hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ), we are required to perform wudu. As for what to do in wudu, I will explain it in the next few paragraphs.

Hadith About Wudu

As for the hadith about wudu I mean as follows:

عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ صَلَاةَ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Allah does not accept someone's prayer from you if he has hadas (small hadas) until he performs wudu." This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The above hadith explains that Allah will not accept our prayers if we have minor hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ). In addition, we are also required to perform wudu first to remove the hadas if we are going to pray.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرُو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِيْ صِفَةِ الْوُضُوْءِ قَالَ : ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأَدْخَلَ إِصْبِعَيْهِ السَّبَاحَتَيْنِ فِيْ أُذُنَيْهِ ، وَمَسَحَ بِأَبْهَامِهِ ظَاهِرَ أُذُنَيْهِ . أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُوْ دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ

From Abdullah bin Amru radliyallahu ahuma about the nature of wudu. He said, "Then he (the Prophet Muhammad) rubbed his head and put two index fingers into two ears and he rubbed the outside of his ears with two thumbs up." The hadith is narrated by Abu Daud and an-Nasa'i.

عَنْ حَمْرَانَ : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ دَعَا بِوُضُوْءٍ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوْئِيْ هَذَا . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

From Hamran, Uthman did wudu. He washed his palms three times. Then he rinsed, put a little water into his nose and removed the water from his nose. Then he washed his face three times. Then he washed his right hand to the elbow three times. Then his left hand is like that (like his right hand). Then he rubbed his head. Then he washed his right foot until his ankles three times. Then his left leg like that. then he said, "I have seen the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam do wudu like this wudu."" The hadith is narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِيْ صِفَةِ وُضُوْءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَاحِدَةً . أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُوْ دَاوُدَ

From Ali radliyallahu anhu about the nature of wudu of the Prophet (Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He said, "He (Prophet Muhammad) wiped his head once." The hadith was narrated by Abu Daud.

The three hadiths above explain how to perform wudu, what to wipe in wudu, what to wash in wudu, and how many times we have to do it. I'll explain all of that in the next few paragraphs.

That is a brief explanation of wudu in Islam: the Quran about wudu and hadith about wudu. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Obligations in Wudu

The second important thing about “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” what I am going to explain now are the obligations in wudu. I want you to understand them now because they are important things in wudu that must be well understood. Without it, our wudu is invalid.

In short, I would like to say that there are six obligations in wudu:

1. Wash your face. We can do that once or three times.
2. Say niyyat for wudu. We can do that once or three times.
3. Washing two hands up to two elbows. We can do that once or three times.
4. Wiping some of the hair of the head. We can do that once or three times.
5. Rub the two ears. We can do that once or three times.
6. Washing two feet to two ankles. We can do that once or three times.

That is a brief explanation of the obligations in wudu. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Sunnah in Wudu

The third important thing about “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” what I will explain now is sunnah in wudu. I want you to understand all of that now because they are all things that are recommended in wudu. In other words, we can do it all and we can not do it all. If we do all of that, then that's even better.

The sunnah in wudu or things that are recommended in wudu are as follows:

1. Gargle. We can do that once or three times.
2. Put some water into the nose (Istinsyaq). We can do that once or three times.
3. Remove the water that has been entered into the nose (Istintsar). We can do that once or three times.

That is a brief explanation of sunnah in wudu. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Do You Have to Wash Your Butt for Wudu?

The fourth important thing about “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” what I will explain now is a specific explanation. So, I really hope you read the explanation below very well.

In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained the obligations in wudu and sunnah in wudu or the recommendations in wudu. Washing the butt wasn't on the list for any of it.

So, if you ask me “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?”, the answer is “no”. The reason is because washing the butt is not one of the obligations in wudu and the recommendations in wudu.

That's the short explanation of “do you have to wash your butt for wudu?” and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!

I think that's enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.

See you again in the next article!
