📜 Question: Is it correct that speaking during the performance of wudhu invalidates the ablution?
📝 Answer: No. It is incorrect. Talking while performing ablution does not invalidate the wudhu.
Alhamdulillah. If a person performs ablution while conversing to someone, the wudhu is still valid if they fulfilled all the conditions of performing wudhu.
If the person, while performing the wudhu, washed their mouth, rinsed their nose, washed their face, hands, arms, and wiped their head along with their ears, and washed their feet including their ankles, then their wudhu is correct even if they were speaking while doing ablution. There is nothing wrong with speech during the performance of wudhu.
