Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
I have not been taking fresh water to wipe my head. I was told by a Hanifi Shaykh [named…] that this inshaAllah should be ok. I think that at least one of my hands should have had fresh water on it from run the faucet water from my elbow to hand and then wiping … please help me.
Walaikum assalam,
There are two opinions on this matter in the Hanafi school. It goes back to the issue of whether you can validly wipe with the water left on the hands after washing a limb.
Many Hanafi scholars held that it is valid to wipe a limb (such as the head) after the water left over from washing another (such as the arms).
The sounder opinion, though, as mentioned by Ibn Abidin, is that this is not valid. It is also what caution would indicate.
As such, you don’t have to make up any prayers performed on such wudus. However, don’t do it again.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
