IslamQA: Do you need wudu’ to make du’a or dhikr?

Do i need to do wudu before making duas same as i do before salat? if i don't, will my dua be accepted?

There is no need to make wudu before dua or dhikr. You can do these at all times, including times when one cannot perform salah.

And God knows best.

    Assalamu alaikum. I would like to know the origin of all zikr. E.g. Nabi Ibrahim a.s recites Hasbi Allah wa nikmal wakil , when the people wanted to burn him.
    So that I can tell this to my grandchildren..
    Jazakallah khair.

    Wassalam
