Is Wudu Compulsory?

Re: Is Wudu Compulsory?

In Sura Maaida (5.6) the verse clearly states that if you want to say salat you wash/wipe certain body parts but total ablution (shower) is needed if ‘purity’ is needed.

Wudu is compulsory for “Salaat” in Surah 5 verse 6, it does not mandate wudu for touching Quran.
