A BASIC GUIDE TO FIQH FOR PURIFICATION (TAHARAH, WUZU, GHUSL) AND SALAH (FIVE TIMES PRAYERS)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the Worlds

OBLIGATORY ACTS OF WUZU (FARZ)

1. To wash the face once from the hairline of the forehead to the lower part of the chin, where it meets neck and from one earlobe to the other. It is also farz (obligatory) to wash the hairs of the beard which are on the circle of face and the hairs which are longer than the circle of the face, it is desirable to wash them, not farz. If the beard is thin than both hairs and the underneath skins must be washed.

2. To wash both hands including elbows once

3. To wipe a quarter of head once with wet hands

4. To wash both feet including and up to ankles

NOTE: One should try to perform ablution fully with Sunnah and mustahabs but it is useful to know farz acts for situation where water is scarce; one is in extreme hunger or is very weak to perform all wuzu.
