Short answer

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
The answer states that there is no textual evidence declaring continuous wiping of wudu water to be forbidden. The ruling of disliked (makruh) for wiping the limbs of ablution therefore does not turn into prohibition merely because it is done all the time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada nas yang mengatakan haram jika mengelap air wuduk berterusan.
