Question:
My friend said that we can perform non-fardh salaah (prayers) without wudhu. Is it true?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
All prayers must be prayed with the condition of whudu being met. [1]
There is nothing indicating that there is a difference for prayers which are non-fardh etc. Therefore the statement is not true.
Only Allah knows best
