Wiping the Face after Wudu

Question

After performing wudu, is it better to wipe the face, hands and feet with a handkerchief or a cloth, or should one not wipe them?

Answer

A cloth was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to wipe himself, and he declined it. Yet it is also established that he himself wiped [his limbs]. Therefore one has a choice between the two; depending on the season and one’s temperament, both are correct.
