Performing wudhu using a spray bottle

· 13 Jumada II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person performs wudhu by spraying water using a spray bottle and wiping the required parts without water falling on the ground, will the wudhu be valid? Is there a requirement that water should fall on the ground while washing in wudhu?

Answer

If sufficient water was used to wash the entire limb in such a manner that the water dripped from the limbs, then the wudhu will be valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
