What is the ruling regarding someone who performs ablution for every minor ritual impurity, despite frequent urination, seeking the virtues of ablution?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ablution (Wudu') is among the acts of worship that increase good deeds and expiate sins. Maintaining it is a sign of faith, as stated in the Hadith: "None preserves ablution except a believer." If it is coupled with performing two rak'ahs of prayer after every ablution, this becomes a reason for entering Paradise, as in the story of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Bilal said: "Never did an impurity befall me but I performed ablution immediately, and I considered that Allah owed me two rak'ahs [of prayer]." Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is because of these [two]." The legitimacy of performing ablution remains for every incident that invalidates it, unless it leads to hardship and difficulty.
