Hi all readers! Are you looking for explanations about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?"? If your answer is "Yes", congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that's what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you must read it to the end!
Specifically, there are several important things about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?" which I will explain in this article. Some of the important things I mean are as follows:
What Is Mustahab in Wudu?
The first important thing about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?" that I will explain now is "what is mustahab in wudu?". I want you to understand that first before you read more explanations in this article because that is the basic thing in this discussion that must be well understood.
There are two important words that we must understand well if we are to understand the question properly:
- Mustahab.
- Wudu.
I say that because those two words are the two important points in the question, even in this discussion.
The brief explanation of the meaning of mustahab and the meaning of wudu is as follows:
Meaning of Mustahab in Islamic Law
Mustahab is one of the terms that is very familiar in Islamic legal literacy. The synonym of mustahab is sunnah. Mustahab is one of the legal status in Islam. Several other legal statuses are obligatory, makruh, mubah, unlawful.
Mustahab in Islamic law is the legal status of something if it is done then the person who does it will get a reward and the person who doesn't do it is innocent. In other words, mustahab is a recommendation.
We can find this explanation in the definition of mustahab below:
مَا يُثَابُ فَاعِلُهُ وَلَا يعُاَقَبُ تَارِكُهُ
Something that the person who does it is rewarded and the person who doesn't does it is innocent.
Some examples of mustahab in Islamic law are Tahajjud prayer, Qabliyah prayer, Ba'diyah prayer, and so on. Muslims are encouraged to do mustahab if they are able to do so. But if they don't, they are innocent. That's mustahab.
Meaning of Wudu in Islamic Law
We all know wudu. In fact, we've all done it. Literally, the meaning of wudu is clean and holy. We can find this explanation in the literal definition of wudu below:
الوُضُوْءُ لُغَةً هُوَ النَّظَافَةُ وَالطَّهَارَةُ
Wudu in Arabic is clean and holy.
The meaning of wudu in Islamic law is as follows:
الوُضُوْءُ فِي الإِسْلَامِ هُوَ اِسْتِخْدَامُ الْمَاءِ الطَّاهِرِ عَلَى أَعْضَاءٍ حَدَّدَهَا الشَّرْعُ ، وَهِيَ الوَجْهُ وَالْيَدَيْنِ وَالرَّأْسِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ ، مِنْ أَجْلِ رَفْعِ كُلِّ مَا يَمْنَعُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ
Wudu in Islam is the use of holy water on certain parts of the body that have been determined by Sharia. Some of the body parts in question are the face, two hands, head, and two feet, with the aim of removing all things that prevent a person from praying.
Conclusion
Now, what is mustahab in wudu?
If we understand the meaning of mustahab and wudu as I have explained in the previous paragraphs, we can conclude that mustahab in wudu is things that are recommended in wudu. If we do all that, then it is better for us and we will get the reward. But if we don't do all of that, we are innocent and our wudu is still valid.
That is a brief explanation of "what is mustahab in wudu?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Difference Between Fard in Wudu and Mustahab in Wudu
The second important thing about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?" that I will explain now is "the difference between fard in wudu and mustahab in wudu". I want you to understand that now because there are some Muslims who cannot distinguish fard in wudu from mustahab in wudu properly.
Fard in wudu ( فَرْضُ الوُضُوْءِ or فُرُوْضُ الوُضُوْءِ ) is one of the important discussions about wudu besides mustahab in wudu (مُسْتَحَبٌّ فِي الوُضُوْءِ or مُسْتَحَبَّاتٌ فِي الوُضُوْءِ). Fard in wudu is an antonym of mustahab in wudu.
I really hope that you have understood the meaning of mustahab in wudu as I have explained in the previous few paragraphs so that you can understand the difference between fard in wudu and mustahab in wudu. If you don't understand it, you can read it one more time.
In simple terms, I would like to say that the difference between fard in wudu and mustahab in wudu is as follows:
- Fard in wudu are things that must be done in wudu, while mustahab in wudu are things that are recommended in wudu.
- Fard in wudu greatly affects the validity of wudu, while mustahab in wudu does not affect the validity of wudu at all.
That is a brief explanation of the difference between fard in wudu and mustahab in wudu. As Muslims, we must understand that.
How Many Mustahab Are There in Wudu?
The third important thing about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?" that I will explain now is general explanation about it. I want you to understand that now because that is one of the important questions in this discussion that has to be well understood.
In general, if we read some Islamic legal literature regarding wudu, we will find an explanation that there are 13 mustahab in wudu. But this number could be much higher because we are advised to do something in wudu up to three times, such as washing our faces three times, washing our hands three times and so on. I will explain that at the end of the discussion in this article. So, keep reading!
That is a brief explanation of " how many mustahab are there in wudu?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
13 Mustahab in Wudu
The fourth important thing about "how many mustahab are there in wudu?" that I will explain now is 13 mustahab in wudu. I want you to understand all of this at the end of this discussion so that you understand what the mustahab in wudu is.
