Is wiping the feet and drying them in the order mentioned in Wudu' considered a lack of consecutive actions (muwalat)?

"Al-muwalat" (continuity) in ablution means that one should not delay washing a limb until the previously washed limb dries, assuming a moderate drying time. The key is the time elapsed, not incidental dryness due to an excuse. If the usual drying time has not passed, the ablution is valid. Some scholars hold that "al-muwalat" means not separating the washing of the limbs by a long customary period, without restricting it to the time of dryness.
