   • Example: Cleaning the nostrils involves sniffing water into the nostrils and blowing it out gently.

5 Ways of Correcting Mistakes in Wudu’:

1. Repeat the Obligatory Acts:
   • If you missed washing any obligatory part, repeat wudū’ from the beginning, making sure to wash all the required parts properly.
   • Example: If you forgot to wash your arms, start wudū’ again and wash them thoroughly.
2. Perform Taysīr (Facilitation):
   • If you missed some traditional acts, perform them if possible, but it’s not obligatory.
   • Example: If you forgot to rinse your mouth, you can do it quickly if there’s still time, but it’s not necessary.
3. Seek Forgiveness:
   • Ask for forgiveness from Allah for any mistakes made during wudū’.
   • Example: Say “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness from Allah) after completing wudū’.
4. Increase Awareness:
   • Pay more attention to the steps of wudū’ to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
   • Example: Concentrate on each step of wudū’ and make sure you’re performing it correctly.
5. Seek Guidance:
