11. When washing the face, water should not be splashed with great force, nor should one splash water by making hissing sounds.
12. One should not close one's eyes and mouth very tightly. All these things are makruh and prohibited. The reason for this is that if the mouth and eyes are shut so tightly to the extent that the lips or eye lashes remain dry, then the wudhu will not be regarded as complete.
13. If rings, bangles, bracelets, etc. are so loose that water will reach under them without having to remove them, it will still be mustahab to remove them. If they are so tight that there is a possibility of water not reaching under them, then it will be necessary and wajib to remove them. A similar rule applies to the nose ring: that is, if it is loose, then it will be mustahab to move it, and if it is tight, then while one is washing the face it will be wajib to move it around so that water reaches everywhere.
14. If some dough or similar substance got stuck under the nails and got dried, and water did not reach there, the wudhu will not be complete. If one sees the flour and realizes that water did not reach there, then water should be poured over it. However, if salât was performed prior to pouring the water, it will be necessary to repeat the salât.
15. If one has applied tinsel or some other decorative paint on the forehead and does not wash it thoroughly, but just pours water over it, then wudhu will not be completed. It should be removed before washing the face.
16. After having performed the wudhu, Surah al-Qadr should be recited.
Thereafter the following dua should be recited:
["O Allah! Make me of the repentants, and make me of the purified, and include me among Your pious servants."]
17. After having performed the wudhu, it is preferable to read two rakâts of nafl salât. This salât is called Tahiyyatul wudhu. Great reward and merit has been mentioned in the Hadith in regard to this salât.
18. If one had made wudhu for a particular salât, and thereafter the next salât time entered without the wudhu having broken, then it will be permissible to read salât with that same wudhu. However, if the person repeats the wudhu, he will be greatly rewarded.
19. Once wudhu has been made and has not broken as yet, then as long as no act of worship (ibâdat) has been performed with that wudhu, it will be makruh to make a new wudhu. Based on this, if a person makes wudhu while bathing, then he should read his salât with that same wudhu. Without that wudhu breaking, he should not make a new wudhu. However, if a person has read even just two rakâts of salât with that first wudhu, then there will be no problem in making a second wudhu. In fact, there is reward in making a second wudhu.
20. If someone's hands or feet are cracked and he filled them with wax, an ointment, or some other medicine (and he fears some harm by removing it) then his wudhu will be regarded as complete if he just poured water over it without having removed the medicine.
21. If water did not reach the heels or some other place while making wudhu, and only after completing the wudhu one realized that a particular place is dry, it will not be sufficient to merely pass the hand over that place. Instead, water will have to be poured over it.
22. If there is a sore or some other wound on the hands, feet, etc. and one fears that it would be harmful to pour water over it, then water should not be poured. Instead, the wet hand should be passed over the wound. This is called masah. If this is harmful, masah should not be made and that place should be left out.
