What is Wudu?
Importance of Wudu Wudu is essential before performing Salah. Allah says in the Qur'an: 'O you who believe! When you rise for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows...' (Surah Al- Ma'idah 5:6) The Prophet ﷺ said: 'On the Day of Judgment, my followers will be called with bright faces and limbs from the traces of Wudu.' (Bukhari & Muslim)
How to Perform Wudu
Fardh Parts of Wudu 1. Washing the face once. 2. Washing both arms up to the elbows once. 3. Wiping a portion of the head once. 4. Washing both feet up to the ankles once. These are the minimum requirements. Without these, Wudu is invalid.

Bonus: Socks in Wudu – What to do? If you decide to put on your socks while you have wudu on, then if a time comes for you to redo your wudu then you do not need to take off your socks. Instead when you have to renew your wudu and reach the step where you need to wash your feet three times this time you can do this: Keep your socks on. You do not need to take them off for this step. Using your right hand you will wipe gently over the top of your right foot (this is done only once). Using your right hand again you will wipe gently over the top of your left foot. The same applies for sandals and shoes too.
