Water . Ghusl . Hair . Wudu (Ablution) . Doubt

What is the recommended amount of water for performing Wudu? I often question the validity of my Wudu and end up repeating it several times, which harms my hair and skin. How can I ensure I am doing it correctly without causing damage?

The Hadeeth narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) states: الوضوء بِمُدٍّ والغُسلُ بِصاع) Wudhu is with one Mudd (750 ml of water) and Ghusl is with one Saa' (3litres of water. Wasting water in Wudhu is not good and some Ulama said that it is Haraam.

If you repeat your Wudhu because repeated doubt, you must refrain from that and ignore the repeated doubts.

Feet . Water . Masah . Wudu (Ablution)

If a few drops of water fall on my feet while performing Wudhu, do I need to dry them before doing Masah? Will my Wudhu be invalid if I choose not to?

If you can perform Masah (wiping) on the dry area on your feet, then it is valid, but never do Masah on the water which falled on your feet. If the whole area is wet with that water,b then you need to dry it before performing Masah in it.

As for Wudhu yes and you need to repeat it.
As for Ghusl also yes, but you may be able to make it valid very easily.
So if this dry part is in your left side of the body you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and this way your incomplete Ghusl will become complete and valid (The reason is in Ghusl, Muwaalaat i.e. "not creating distance between the components of a task" is not a condition for validity but in Wudhu it is!)
According to Sayyed Khamenei if this dry part is in your right side of the body you have to make it wet and also wash the left side as well because in his viewpoint, the sequence of head and neck then right then left side has to be observed according to obligatory precaution. same is with the head and neck i.e. if the dry part is in your head and neck you have to repeat on right and left part again.
According to Sayyed Sistani, if this dry part is in your right part of the body also you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and there is no need to wash the left part afterwards.
But if it's in head and neck then you need to wash the body afterwards.

Ghusl . Water . Body . Hair

When performing mandatory Ghusl, I often feel uncertain that water has reached every part of my body, especially my hair, leading to wasted time and water. How can I ensure the water reaches the roots of my hair effectively?

Repeated doubts in Ghusl or Wudhu or Prayers can be from Shaitan to disturb you. That is why Ahlul Bayt (AS) have ordered those who have repeated doubts to ignore such doubt and go ahead with out giving ant attention to the doubt.

Ignoring the repeated doubt will help you to get rid of it.
