822 I would like to know if one has to wash their private parts before doing wudu every time?
It is important to remember that there are 4 Farz (obligatory Acts) in Wudu, which need to be fulfilled in order for the Wudu to be complete.

These being:

1.) To wash both hands and arms up to and including the elbows.
2.) To wash the whole face (From forehead to chin and from ear to ear).
3.) Performing the Massah (Running wet hands over the head).
4.) Washing both feet up to and including the ankles.

Please note: Before you can start on the Fard it is important that the istinja (cleaning of private parts) is done if required.

Some of the things that break Wudu are:

To pass wind, excrete or pass urine.

For anything to come out of the urinal or anal passage.

For blood or puss to come out and flow from a part of the body.

To vomit (a mouthful), food, water, or mucus.

To sleep in such a way that the joints of the body become loose.

To fall unconscious, to faint or become mentally disabled.

Some of the things that break the Istinja as well as the Wudu are :

To excrete, pass urine or for anything to come out of the urinal or anal passage.
