Wuzu is Farz (Obligatory) for performance of prayer (Salah)

every Salah, in spite of having wuzu and also before
sleeping.

forgive my sins and give expansion in my home and bless me
in my provision."
19. At the end recite second Kalimah and this Dua "O Allah
make of those who repent and make me from those purified."
20. Also recite Surah Al-Qadar
In the full method of wuzu as mentioned, there are some
acts, if omitted or not practiced the wuzu is not valid.
They are called obligatory (Farraid) acts of wuzu. Some acts
are prophetic Sunnah, some are recommended and some are
disliked (Makrooh), by which the reward of the wuzu is
decreased.
