Abstract
Ablution is a washing procedure involves water to a particular body to cleanse itself from small impurities. In Islam, ablution is a spiritual washing for all Muslims before performing the prayers. Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) has introduced this ritual as part of the prayers activity. This ritual has been recorded in the Holy Book´s of Quran, the prophetic traditions called Sunnah or Hadith and the consensus of Islamic Scholars. Based on Quran, Sunnah and the Scholars consensus, general rules of ablution have been formalized and inherited since 14 centuries ago. Since this ritual involves the use of water, the Muslims introduced the place or station to perform the ablution. Many ideas and design were built near the prayers house called the Mosque. Later it becomes one of the most important elements in the Mosque Architectural work until today. In this work we proposed a conceptual framework on how to study the minimum usage of water in ablution but still complies with its general rules. In the framework, the study on product design development will be employed leading to the use of ceramics material.
