It is not necessary for one to actually utter the intention (niyyah) of performing wuḍūʾ or feel it in his heart; rather, it is sufficient if he performs all the acts of wuḍūʾ in compliance with the command of Allah the Exalted. The seventh condition:* wuḍūʾ must be performed in the sequence (tartīb) mentioned earlier, i.e. first the face must be washed, then the right arm, and then the left arm; following that, the head must be wiped and then the feet. And based on obligatory precaution, one must wipe the left foot after the right foot. The eighth condition: the acts of wuḍūʾ must be performed in close succession (muwālāh).
