“O believers! When you wake up, wash your faces and your hands, wipe your heads, and wash your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are not in state of full purity then completely wash yourself. If you are sick or in travel, or had intimate with your better half and cannot have any water source, then clean yourself by wiping your hands.” (Surah Al-Ma’idah, Ayat 6)
