Performance of wudu according to Sunni Muslims

1. Start by making niyyah (intention) to perform wudu and cleanse the self of impurities.
2. Say bismillah ("In the Name of Allah (God)").
3. Wash the right hand up to the wrist (and between the fingers) three times, then similarly for the left hand.
4. Rinse the mouth and spit out the water three times and rub the teeth with a Miswak. If Miswak is not available then one should use the finger.
5. Gently put water into the nostrils with the right hand, pinch the top of the nose with the left hand to exhale the water. This is performed three times.
6. Wash the face (from the hairline on the forehead to where facial hair begins and ear to ear). This is to be performed three times.
7. Wash the entire right arm, including the hand, up to and including the elbow three times; then the left arm three times. Pass fingers of one hand between the fingers of the other hand. If wearing a ring it should be moved freely to allow water to pass under it.
8. Then perform Masah. Wet hands should be passed all over the head; then the first finger of the right and left hand should be moved in the right and left ears respectively and in the same operation thumbs should be passed around the ears; then pass the backs of the hands over the hind part of the neck only. Hands should not be passed around the fore-neck as it is prohibited. This is only done once. One may NOT make masah over a Muslim head cap. Fresh water need not be taken for performing the masah of the ears.
9. Starting with the right foot, wash both feet from the toes up to and including the ankles thrice. The little finger of the left hand should be passed between the toes of both the feet beginning from the little toe of the right foot and ending with the little toe of the left foot.
10. Recite the shahadah.
