Is it necessary to repeat ablution when washing the right foot three times and the left foot twice?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is better to wash the left foot three times, but washing it twice does not invalidate the ablution; rather, it suffices. The obligation in washing the limbs is once, and three times is a Sunnah. Authentic hadiths have been reported showing washing once, twice, and three times, and this variation is an indication that all of these are permissible.
