What should a person, who doubts the validity of his Wudu, or over performs it, do?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
What should a person, who doubts the validity of his Wudu, or over performs it, do?

Answer:
One who doubts the validity of his/her Wudu while performing it should redo it until he/she is certain of having attained purity. But, if doubt was after having performed Wudu, then he/she should not pay attention to that as doubt after the end of an act of worship does not count. This is of course in case doubt was within the reasonable limits since once it goes beyond that, it becomes a whispering of the Shaytaan(devil) which he/she should ignore as the Wudu is valid.
