Irtimāsī Wuḍū' (Arabic:الوضوء الارتماسي) or Wudu by Immersion is one of the methods of performing wudu that after making the intention,[1] the face and then the hands should be immersed in the water with the intention of wudu.[2] It is also permissible for the person to immerse the body parts of wudu in the water, and makes the intention of performing wudu and then take the parts of wudu out of the water.[3] In wudu by immersion, after immersing the face and hands in water, the head and feet should be wiped.[4]
Irtimas is a jurisprudential term that means immersing the head or other parts of the body in water.[5] The order in wudu by immersion is the same as normal wudu, when the face is washed first, then the right hand and then the left hand.[6]
In wudu by immersion, the face and hands are washed from the top down. The face is immersed into the water from the forehead and the hands from the elbows. Of course, if the person makes the intention to perform wudu while taking his hands and face out of the water, he should take his face from the forehead and hands from the elbows.[7]
According to Imam Khomeini’s fatwa, one can immerse his hands and face in water only twice in the wudu by immersion; the first time is obligatory, and the second time is permissible, and more than that is not permissible.[8] It is considered permissible to wash some body parts by immersion and others in sequential manner.[9]
Some jurists have set conditions for wiping the head and feet using the water of wudu in wudu by immersion, in the absence of which the wudu would not be valid:
- Imam Khomeini believed that the wiping of the head and the feet should be made using the water of wudu, so, the valid form of wudu by immersion is when the hands are in the water and the person makes the intention of wudu and then takes his hands out of the water.[10]
- Sayyid Abu al-Qasim Khoei and Mirza Jawad Tabrizi believed that the left hand cannot be washed by immersion.[11]
- Sayyid Ali Sistani does not consider wiping with the wet hand, which has become wet by immersion into the water, to have a problem, but he has considered it against caution.[12]
- Nasir Makarim Shirazi believes that during the wudu of the right and the left hand by immersion, the person should make the intention that from the time he takes them out of the water until the water flows on the hands is part of the wudu.[13]
