Question:
A person comes to masjid at such a moment that if he performs a full Wudhu, with its Sunnah acts, he will definitely miss the Jama’ah (congregational prayer).
Does he have to perform the Sunnah acts of Wudhu, or performing just Fardh (compulsory) acts is sufficient?
Answer:
الجواب باسم ملهم الصواب
- It is necessary to perform a full Wudhu with its Sunnah acts, even if it means that the person will be unable to join the congregational prayer in time.
Only Allah knows best.
