Rukun Wudu (Pillars of Ablution)
📌 There are six essential pillars (rukun) of Wudu; omitting or incompletely performing any of them invalidates the Wudu.
❤️ The first pillar is Niyyah (Intention), which must be made in the heart concurrent with the act of washing the face; verbalizing the intention is Sunnah (recommended) according to the Shafi'i school.
💧 The second pillar is washing the entire face, defined from the normal hairline down to the chin, and across the ears.
🦵 The third pillar is washing the hands up to and including the elbows ($wa\ aydiyakum\ ilal\ marofiq$); the fourth is wiping a portion of the head, and the fifth is washing the feet up to and including the ankles ($wa\ arakum\ ilal\ ka'bain$).
⚖️ The sixth pillar is performing these acts in the correct sequence (Tertib), as stipulated by divine order.

Sunnahs of Wudu (Recommended Acts)
✨ Sunnah acts, if performed, yield reward ($\text{pahala}$) but their omission does not invalidate the Wudu, making them optional during water scarcity (e.g., mountain climbing).
🧼 Recommended preliminary acts include washing the palms, saying $\text{Basmalah}$, rinsing the mouth ($\text{Maddah}$), and clearing the nostrils ($\text{Istinsyaq}$ and $\text{Istinsar}$).
🧑‍🦳 For those with thick beards, combing/raking through the beard ($\text{menyela-nyela jenggot}$) is Sunnah, alongside running water through the fingers and toes.
↩️ It is Sunnah to perform actions in sets of three repetitions and to prioritize the right side over the left.

Invalidators of Wudu (Pembatal Wudu)
🚽 Wudu is invalidated by the exit of anything from the private parts (genitalia/anus), including non-usual substances like a stone or worm.
😴 Loss of consciousness due to sleep, fainting, or intoxication invalidates Wudu, *unless* the sleep occurs while seated firmly with the buttocks touching the ground.
✋ Touching the private parts or anus with the inner palm invalidates Wudu.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 According to the strict Shafi'i view, touching the skin of the opposite sex who is not a Mahram (not a close relative) while both are adults invalidates Wudu; however, the speaker notes that the majority opinion holds that touching one's spouse does not break Wudu.

Conditions for Valid Wudu (Syarat Sah Wudu)
📜 There are 10 conditions for Wudu to be valid, including being a Muslim and possessing $\text{Tamyiz}$ (the ability to manage one's own eating, drinking, and cleaning).
🚫 There must be no barrier preventing water from reaching the skin, such as thick nail polish or paint, although light ink stains that are hard to remove may be permissible.
💧 The water used must be $\text{Thahur}$ (pure and purifying), not merely $\text{Thahir}$ (pure but not purifying).
🕒 For individuals with incontinence (frequent urination, $\text{Salisul Baul}$), $\text{Wudu}$ must be performed only after the prayer time has entered ($\text{Wakhulul Wakti}$).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ During water scarcity, prioritize performing only the six mandatory Rukun of Wudu to conserve water.
➡️ Verbalizing the $\text{Niyyah}$ for Wudu is Sunnah according to the Shafi'i school, with the crucial element being the intention in the heart concurrent with washing the face.
➡️ While blood discharge (nosebleed, skin wound) or vomit does not invalidate Wudu, the resultant impurity ($\text{Najis}$) must be cleaned off before prayer.
