Washing Body Parts Three Times in Wudu
 
 
    Question: When we make Wudu, we wash some of our body parts three times. Why are we advised to wash a part of our body three times each? Can we wash it more than three times? 
    Answer: We can wash the specified body parts any number of times during Wudu. The actual directive is to wash the parts thoroughly and completely*. Since washing a body part three times generally cleans it thoroughly, this number has been specified.
