The Water Left Over from Wudu

Question

One ewer of water was taken for wudu, and it ran out in the middle of the wudu. Then [the person] took water again and completed the wudu. Will drinking this left-over water standing also be mustahabb or not? Is it mustahabb to drink only the water that was taken for wudu at the start and remained from it?

Answer

The water left over from wudu is what remains after the wudu has been completed. So drinking from the water taken the first time, when the wudu remains incomplete and one has to take water a second time, is not mustahabb. And drinking the water left over from wudu is mustahabb unconditionally, whether one drinks it standing or sitting.
