قال أبي رضي الله عنه في رسالته إلي: إن فرغت من بعض وضوئك وانقطع بك الماء من قبل أن تتمه فأتيت بالماء فتمم وضوءك إذا كان ما غسلته رطبا، وإن كان قد جف فأعد وضوءك، وإن جف بعض وضوئك قبل أن تتم الوضوء من غير أن ينقطع عنك الماء فاغسل ما بقي، جف وضوؤك أو لم يجف.

My father, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, wrote in his letter to me : "If you finish part of your wudu and the water runs out before you complete it, then when you bring water to continue, complete your wudu if the parts you previously washed are still wet. But if they have dried, start your wudu over. If some parts of your wudu dry before you complete it, but water is still available to you, simply wash the remaining parts, whether the earlier parts have dried or not."
