It is disliked to be excessive in using water for ablution (wudu'), and it is disliked to exceed three scoops (ghurafāt). The ablution of one who does so is valid and sufficient. However, if perfecting the ablution (isbagh al-wudu') cannot be achieved except by exceeding three scoops, then it is obligatory to use what achieves that perfection.
