You must be absolutely certain that you did forget a part of your wudu; keeping in mind that the minimal obligation for wudu to be valid is to make the intention, wash the face, both arms, wiping part of the head and wash both feet and in that order (each body part once). Knowing this, if you still feel absolutely certain that you missed an obligatory part of wudu, then that would make your wudu invalid and therefore your prayer. In this case you must go back to the step of wudu you are certain that you missed and remake your wudu starting at that step and then redo your prayer. For example, if you are certain you washed your right arm and not your left, then you start from your left arm, continue to the head, feet etc.) and entirely redo the prayer.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668da0000b76658b4c232b6b","tag":"Tahara: Other","count":24}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:06.518Z"}
