The Ruling on washing the Face and Hands with Soap during Wudhu'

Question :

What is the ruling on washing the face and hands with soap during Wudhu"?

Answer:

Washing the hands and face with soap during Wudhu' is not prescribed by Islamic law, in fact, it is something excessive, and it has been authentically reported from the Prophet that he said:

"May those who act excessively be destroyed, may those who act excessively be destroyed.

He said it three times. Yes, if it is confirmed that there is some dirt on the hands which cannot be removed except by using soap or some other cleaning agent, then there is no objection to using it. However, if it is a habit, then using soap is considered an excessive act and an innovation, and it should not be used.
