Dua During Wudu
There is nothing authentic concerning supplication during the wudoo.
These are the du’aa’s that have been narrated from the Prophet ﷺ to be said in wudoo’. As for saying du’aa’ when washing the different parts of the body, no such thing has been proven from the Prophet ﷺ.
Ibn al-Qayyim said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (1/195):
It is not narrated from him that he used to say anything in his wudoo’ apart from saying Bismillaah. Every hadeeth which speaks of du’aa’s to be said in wudoo’ is false and fabricated.
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ did not say any of these things and he did not teach them to his ummah. There is nothing narrated from him except saying (the above duas).
