If another person washes his face or hand...

If another person washes his face or hand, for example, or joins him in such washing, the wudhu will be batil (Of course, if one cannot do wudhu by himself, then taking others' help is OK.) As for the situation given in your question, all I can say is that it is very undesirable.

Once Imam Ridha (a.s.) saw Mamun Rashid doing wudhu in the same way (His servant was pouring water on his hand) The Imam (a.s.) at once admonished him not to do so, and recited the last verse of the chapter Al-Kahf:...he should not join any one in the worship of his Lord. (18:110). Q. 63: MENOPAUSE: I am 50 years old and I am still getting my monthly period every month. For the first 5 days I get a few drops only; from 5th to 10th or 15th days I get heavy bleeding which has the signs of haez.

I have read masael of lmam-Khui & Imam Seestani also, but I am still confused. Please help. Shall I consider the whole period as istehaza, and perform my Namaz as usual. As I heard that women after 50 years, are having istehaza only. A: According to Ayatullah Sistani, the age of menopause is 60 years. But, as a matter of Ihtiyat, between the age of 50 and 60, non-Qurayshi women (like you) should perform wajibat of Istihaza and abstain from the things which are haram during monthly period.

It means that you will do wuzu or ghuls (or tayammum if ghusl is not possible or is harmful) as a woman in Istihaza is required to do and then pray your namaz and keep fast. But at the same time you will not do anything which a woman in haiz condition is not allowed to do, i.e., you should not recite those Qur'anic verses in which sajdah is wajib, should not touch the names of Allah, and Ma'sumeen nor the writing of the Qur'an.

Nor should you enter any mosque or put anything in it even from outside. If for two consecutive months you have seen blood as you have mentioned, then during the first five days, you will treat it as istihaza Qalila (without any need to follow the above- mentioned Ihitayat.) For the later days when it has the signs of haiz blood, you will follow the above rule of Ihtiyat. Q.

64: DID THE PROPHET RECITE SALAWAT IN TASHAHHUD I was recently asked how is it that we ask for peace and blessing of Allah Ta'ala to be upon Muhammad and his Household (s.a.w.a.) when we are to assume that he never said this in prayer? A: It is wrong to say that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) never recited the salawat in the prayer.
