Explanation

Wudu (ablution) is ritual washing before prayer. Required before salat, touching Quran, and tawaf. Invalidated by: natural discharges, sleep, loss of consciousness, touching private parts.

Steps: intention, washing hands, rinsing mouth, sniffing water into nose, washing face, washing arms to elbows, wiping head, wiping ears, washing feet to ankles. Right before left.

Tayammum (dry ablution) permitted when water unavailable or harmful: strike clean earth, wipe face and hands. Islam prioritizes prayer – providing alternatives when normal method impossible.
