54. Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal narrated: "I saw the Prophet ﷺ when he performed Wudū', he wiped his face with the edge of his garment."
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is
Gharib, and its chain is weak. Rishdīn bin Sa'd and 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Ziyād bin An'um Al-Ifrīqī [narrators in the chain of this Hadīth] are weak in Hadīth.
Some people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them, permitted using a towel after Wudū'.
Those who disliked it, only disliked it from the view of the saying: "Wudū' is weighed." That was reported from Sa'eed bin Al-Mūsāyyab and Az-Zuhri. Muḥammad bin Ḥumaid [Ar-Rāzī] narrated to us, Jarīr narrated to us, he said: 'Ali bin Mujāhid narrated it to me, and he is trustworthy to me, from me,[1] from: Tha'labah from Az-Zuhri, he said: "The towel is only disliked after Wudū' because Wudū' is weighed." (Ḍa'if)

Commentary
Using a towel after ablution, according to the majority of scholars, is permissible; and drying the water of ablution from the body does not mean it will not have weight, because the water will obviously get dry. So there is no harm in drying the water after ablution.
