*Cleanliness (Taharah) is an important precondition of Islamic worship. Wudu is an essential part of Cleanliness. Salah(prayer) is not valid without Wudu' or Tayammum(dry Ablution). Allah says in the Qur'an :
"Surely Allah loves those who turn to Him and those who care for cleanliness" (2:22).
1. First make Niyyah (Intention) that you are making Wudu' for Salah and begin saying. "Bismillah.." (In the name of Allah, the most merciful and the most kind). Wash both hands up to the wrist three times, making sure that water has reached between the fingers.
2. Put a handful of water into your mouth and rinse it thoroughly three times
3, 4 Sniff water into your nostrils three times to clean them and then wash the tip of the nose
5,6 Wash your face three times from right ear to left ear and from forehead to throat.
7. Wash your right arm and then your left arm thoroughly from wrist up to elbow three times.
8 a & b) Move the wet palms over the head from the top of forehead to the back of the head.
9) Pass the wet tips of index fingers into the grooves and holes of both ears and also pass the wet thumbs behind the ears
10. Finally, wash both feet to the ankles starting from the right, making sure that water has reached between the toes and all other parts of the feet.

"Ash-hadu an la ilaha illal lahu wa ash-hadu anna Muammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh."
Meaning: I testify that there is no god but Allah and He is One and has no partner and I also testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
You Should repeat your Wudu after :
1. Natural discharge (e.g. urine, stool, wind and the like)
2. Flow of blood or pus from any part of the body.
3. Full mouth vomiting

tayammum or resort to pure earth may substitute for the ablution and even the bath. This is allowed in any of the following cases:
1- When a person is sick and cannot use water;
2- When he has no access to water in sufficient quantity,

In any of these instances it is permissible to make tayammum which is performed as follows:
1- Strike both hands slightly on pure earth or sand or stone.
2- Shake the hands off and wipe the face with them once in the same way as done in the ablution.
3-Strike the hands again and wipe the right arm to the elbow with the left hand and the left arm with the right hand.
