“Wudu' has six integrals. The wudu' is not valid if any of them is left out. 1- The intention: It takes place in the heart. It should also be simultaneous with washing the first part of the face. One says in ones heart: I now intend to make wudu' or the like. 2- Washing the entire face, from the normal hairline to the chin and from one ear to the other. 3- Washing the hands up to and including the elbows. The elbow is the bone where the forearm and upper arm meet. 4- Wet wiping the head or part of it. 5- Washing the feet up to and including the ankles. 6- Keeping the order of the integrals as they were mentioned. So the intention would occur with washing the face, then washing the face, then washing the hands and forearms, then wet wiping the head, and finally washing the feet.”
