Benefit of using the mudd to perform wudhu

Q: What are the virtues of using a mudd when making wudhu or ghusl? Are there etiquettes of using a mudd?

A: The amount of water the mudd contains conforms to the amount of water Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhu) would use when making wudhu. Hence, through one using the mudd, one will emulate the sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in regard to the amount of water he would use for wudhu.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
