Increasing the brightness of Wudu' through washing up to one's knees and armpits

Q: Is there any harm in washing the legs up to the knees and the arms up to the armpits [during Wudu' (ablution)]?

All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. Washing arms up to the armpits during Wudu' is exceeding the proper limits of the Din (religion), as is washing the legs up to the knees. What is prescribed by Islam is to wash the arms up to the elbows and the feet up to the ankles. Q: Is there any harm in performing Wudu', drinking, or urinating while standing? A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. A Muslim may perform Wudu' in whatever position is easy for them, sitting or standing, likewise they can drink standing or sitting, but it is preferable to drink sitting. It is the same for urinating, standing if necessary, as long as no one can see their `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public) and there is no fear that the urine will splash them. However, urinating sitting is preferable, because this was the regular practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
