The document provides instructions on how to perform ablution (wudu) before prayer in Islam. It explains that ablution involves washing different body parts like the face, arms, and feet with water according to the method prescribed by the Quran and prophet Muhammad. If water is unavailable, a dry ablution called tayammum using clean earth can be performed as a substitute. The document also states that ablution allows Muslims to pray more than once without repeating the process, but becomes invalid in certain circumstances like using the bathroom or sleeping.
