:salam2: dear brothers and sisters

I just wanted to know something about wudhuu.

Usually after I finish washing my feet both, I feel like my hand are "dirty" and right away I wipe them under water. So my question is : is that practice bid'aa and / or haram.... ?

Plz bro and sis answer me it's really bothering me :shymuslima1:
Jazikallah kheiroun

it's a wispering from Shaytan so don't do it :astag:
and read this fatwa
A woman is affected by waswaas with regard to purity (tahaarah)

Question:
A woman is suffering from waswaas (insinuating whispers of the Shaytaan) concerning her tahaarah (purity) and feeling after she has done wudoo’ that she needs to relieve herself. On one occasion she felt that someone was telling her to insult the Qur’aan and insult Allaah, and all she could do was weep. How can she deal with this and get rid of these whispers?

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

Many people suffer from these whispers – there is no power and no strength except with Allaah. The way to deal with waswaas is to seek refuge with Allaah a great deal from the accursed Shaytaan, and especially to recite al-Mi’wadhatayn (the last two soorahs of the Qur’aan), for there is nothing better with which a person may seek refuge with Allaah. So she should recite (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say: “I seek refuge with (Allaah), the Lord of the daybreak”

[al-Falaq 113:1] – to the end of the soorah, which includes seeking refuge from the evil of the Shaytaan, because he is one of the creations of Allaah. And she should recite Soorat al-Naas (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say: “I seek refuge with (Allaah), the Lord of the daybreak”

[al-Naas 114:1] – to the end.

The way to deal with that is to seek refuge a great deal in Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan, to turn to Allaah, and to have sincere resolve, so that one will not pay any attention to whispers that may enter one’s mind.

For example, whether you have done wudoo’ once or twice or three times, you should not pay any attention to the whispers of the Shaytaan. Even if you feel that you have not done wudoo’, for example, or that you neglected some part of wudoo’ or that you did not have the right intention, you should not pay attention to that. Similarly if you are praying and you feel or it occurs to you that you did not say “Allaahu akbar” at the beginning of the prayer, you should not pay attention to that, and you should carry on and complete your prayer. Similarly, if it crosses your mind – as mentioned in the question – to insult Allaah or the Mus-haf or any other kind of kufr, you should not pay attention to that and it will not harm you. Even if it goes so far as a person uttering them words under compulsion of the waswaas, there is no sin on him because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “There is no talaaq (divorce) under compulsion.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2193; Ahmad, al-Musnad, 6/276; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in al-Irwa’, no. 2047. If the divorce that is the result of waswaas does not count, then this is more likely to be forgiven, but one should turn away from that and not pay attention to it.

So my advice to this lady and others who are tested with waswaas is to seek refuge a great deal with Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan, to recite al-Mi’wadhatayn – Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-Falaq and Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-naas (the last two soorahs of the Qur’aan) – to have sincere resolve and not to pay attention to these insinuating whispers from the Shaytaan.

If the Shaytaan manages to instill some doubts in a person’s heart concerning Allaah and so on, he should not worry about that, because he is only suffering these doubts because of the faith in his heart. The person who is not a believer does not care whether he doubts or not; the one who suffers because of these doubts and whispers is a believer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “That is clear faith,” (narrated by Muslim, no. 132) , meaning that what the Shaytaan casts into your hearts of such matters is a reflection of clear faith, i.e., sincere faith… He described it as sincere faith, because the one who experiences these doubts is not happy about them and should not pay any attention to them; they grieve him and he does not want them. The Shaytaan only comes to hearts which are filled with faith in order to destroy it; he does not come to hearts that are devoid of faith, because they are already ruined. It was said to Ibn ‘Abbaas or Ibn Mas’ood that the Jews said, “We do not experience waswaas during our prayers.” He said, “Of course, what would the Shaytaan do with a heart that is already ruined?!”

My advice to her is to ignore all of these whispers. She will find it hard at first, and she will think that she is praying without wudoo’ or without saying “Allaahu akbar” at the beginning, and so on, but it will become easier for her after that, and this doubt and waswaas will leave her, in sha Allaah.

Praise be to Allaah, there are people who suffered with this problem, but they were told how to deal with it and how to resist it, and Allaah granted them relief. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.

Jazikallah kheir brother Massi for the advice. Now I know it's a wasswass from the Shaytan ( aoudhoubillah min shaytan ar rajim)

It would be a Bid'ah if you considered this to be part of the Wudhu', that is if you did not do it that your Wudhu' would not be complete.
There is no harm in washing your hands after your feet, especially if you do see that they are not clean, however it will not affect your Wudhu' unless they contain something impure on them which is very unlikely.

There are many who wipe their necks as part of Wudhu', doing so is indeed a Bid'ah as it is not part of the Wudhu'. Doing so is adding to what is already clear to us, so if you were to always wash your hands after your feet and consider it to be a part of the wudhu' then this is indeed wrong.
By the way, I also usually wash my hands just before I turn the water off so rest assured that it is not a Bid'ah until we consider it to be pasrt of the Wudhu' or do it for no reason at all (making it regular in the Wudhu' without reason).

I do this : whiping my neck coz I saw it on my book and I thought it was part of the wudhuu astarghfillah... but wiping my hand at the end it's just mechanical and I don't consider it as part of the wudhuu wallahi.

Barakallah fik brother for the advice and May Allah forgive us if we do wrong :tti_sister:
Amin

Assalamualaikum,

Can someone please clarify this? :shymuslima1: I know many who do this! I myself do it after doing my massa and my ears!

Please tell me if I am wrong with evidence from Quran and Sunnah.

Thanks in advance :)

The evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah is simply that we are never instructed to wipe our necks in Wudhu', nor did the Prophet ever do so.

When it comes to acts of worship there must be an evidence for it, if there is not then generally we leave it.
