Question: If a person cannot remember whether or not he has Wudhu - what should he do?

Answer: There is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence which is: 

اليقين لا يزول بالشك

“Certainty is not lifted by a doubt.” (Al Ashbah Wan Nadhair p.60)

If one is certain about having made Wudhu and cannot, with certainty, recall breaking that Wudhu, he will be considered to be in the state of Wudhu.

On the contrary, if a person recalls breaking Wudhu and doubts as to whether or not he performed Wudhu after that, he will be considered to be without Wudhu.

And Allah Knows Best
