This question came to my mind while I was reading another post. It said, “For example, to start with namaaz you wash your face, arms and feet. Now if your body passes some air, you’ll have to wash ur face, hands and feet again, everything which you just washed but not the part of the body which released air. Do you think its logical?”
Now my question to you folks is how was the procedure of performing wuzzoo came into practice?. Is it really necessary to wash your feet if only “reeh” or “gas” was passed?. I am not joking, brothers and sisters in Islam. I want to know the answers. I don’t necessarliy need to know the logic. I know the logic is to keep a Muslim clean by performing abolution five times a day. But what if I pray Maghrib at 7 pm and after an hour pray Isha. And during those 50 or so minutes I may have passed some gas.
If you think I am making fun, then please don’t answer. I don’t need a lecture on not being a follower of sunnah.
Munni, I am asking how it came about and also what's the minimum requirement?. SOmetimes in freezing winters it is hard to do the full wuzzoo taking off the socks and washing the feet and arms to the elbows.
It doesn't make sense to do wuzzoo only after passing gas or even using the bathroom for #2.
funguy the Qur'an has ALL the details about wazoo.. u do not need to to ANYTHING more.
[5:6] O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles; and if you are under an obligation to perform a total ablution, then wash (yourselves) and if you are sick or on a journey, or one of you come from the privy, or you have touched the women, and you cannot find water, betake yourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith, Allah does not desire to put on you any difficulty, but He wishes to purify you and that He may complete His favor on you, so that you may be grateful.
PakistaniAbroad: Notice the stress on Allah not desiring to put us in any difficulty.. so let's not go fishing for more to do when the Qur'an has fully instructed us.
funguy, from what I have read in hadith, if you put on your socks in a state of wuzuu, and later broke the wuzuu, then you can wipe your hands over the top of your socks/foot, instead of having to take them off. If you were not in wuzuu at the time you put on the socks, then you have to do it over again completely.
just another question.... if you've showered but not performed the "actions" of the wuzoo... can u still pray or does one need to still perform the actions in order to have proper wuzoo
as far as i know as long as you’ve made the right niyyat (ghusl-e-janaabat, ghusl for wuzu or for friday etc.) and you wash your mouth and nose out and bathe the whole body, the ghusl and wuzu is valid. correct me if that’s not the case.

As per the rest, one has to do complete wuzuu.

in fiq-e-hanafi that’s only allowed with leather socks but the arabs allow it with thick cotton socks as well, my brother who’s studying to become a scholar says it’s wrong to follow fiqh-e-hanafi in everything so we always do it over cotton socks.
i used to think the same thing... but when i was 14, a cousin of mine told me that even if uve showerd with the niyat of being pak but have not performed wuzoo, its not valid

I think you are using the word "wuzoo" a bit loosely. If someone is taking a full body bath, then they pretty much cover everything anyway. According to my Islamic knowledge, the only thing they should remember to do during bath is "masah". Not sure if the the pseudo-intellectuals of Religion forum will poke holes into that as well (like they do with everything here), but thats pretty much the way its done in Pakistan.
** to the best of my knowledge, a full shower with correct niyat {intention} covers all farz areas of the body which need to be washed in order for one to be declared in the state of wuzu {ablution}, u do not need to do wuzu {ablution} after having taken a shower * *
