Fard (compulsory) acts of Wudu
There are four fard acts in wudu:-
  1. To wash the entire face once.
  2. To wash both hands upto and including the elbows once.
  3. To make masah of one-quarter of the head once.
  4. To wash both feet upto and including the ankles once.
These are the fard acts of wudu. Even if one of these acts is left out, or even if a place equal to a hair's breadth is left dry, wudu will not be complete
