There was a Wudu in a room next to a prayer room at a office/warehouse where I was inspecting. I thought it was a mop sink at first. When I found out what it really was I had them change the faucet to make it accessible. It does have a 2" lip around it but I was told they don't get in it to wash their feet, they just hold their feet up in the stream of the water so I did not make them lower the lip but I'm not sure it would pass an accessibility audit.
Wuḍūʾ (Arabic: الوضوء al-wuḍūʼ [wʊˈdˤuːʔ]) is the Islamic procedure for cleansing parts of the body, a type of ritual purification, or ablution. The 4 Fardh (Mandatory) acts of Wudu consists of washing the face, arms, then wiping the head and finally washing the feet with water.
Wudu is an important part of ritual purity in Islam. It is governed by fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence),[1] which specifies rules concerning hygiene and defines the rituals that constitute it.
It is typically performed during prayers (salah or salat). Activities that invalidate wudu include urination, defecation, flatulence, deep sleep, light bleeding, menstruation, postpartum and sexual intercourse.[2]
Wudu is often translated as 'partial ablution', as opposed to ghusl as 'full ablution' where the whole body is washed. It also contrasts with tayammum ('dry ablution'), which uses sand or dust in place of water, principally due to water scarcity or other harmful effects on the person.[3] Purification of the body and clothes is called taharah.
