If the following conditions are present, then the Wudhu will be correct, and if even one of them is not present, then the Wudhu will become void.

1. The water for Wudhu must be Tahir (not Najis).
2. The water for Wudhu, and the place where one is getting the water from must both be Mubah (permissible for use) - meaning that it is not stolen property.
3. The water for Wudhu must be Mutlaq (pure) - not mixed water.
4. The container holding the water must be Mubah (With the conditions that will be explained later).

7. There must be no obstruction on the body that prevents the water from reaching the body.
8. The Wudhu must be done with the intention of “seeking nearness to Allah”, and not for showing off.
9. Succession (Tarteeb) in actions must be observed (as will be explained later).
10. Sequence (Muwalat) in the actions, meaning that there should not be a time gap between the actions of Wudhu.
11. One must not have the help of other people.
12. There should be no constraint in using the water.
13. There must be enough time to perform Wudhu.
