Question

If I wash my feet for wudhu by putting my feet in an empty bucket and pouring water on it and then wiping it. I do this 3 times for each foot. In-between the times that I wash my feet, my feet touch the water in the bucket that has dropped off my feet. Is my wudhu valid?

Answer

Yes, your wudhu is valid.

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