What to Do If Wudu Breaks During Wudu

Question: Sometimes, while performing wudu, I am almost finished. For example, I may be washing my feet or wiping my head when something happens that breaks my wudu. In that situation, should I start the wudu again from the beginning, or should I continue from where I stopped?

Answer: If a person’s wudu breaks while performing wudu, the entire wudu must be performed again from the beginning. Just as a person must repeat wudu if it breaks after completing the wudu, the same applies if it breaks during the process. Even if someone has completed most of the steps, they must start the wudu again if it becomes invalid.
