Summary
Ablution washed only once is valid if the water has covered all the parts of ablution on the first washing. What is obligatory is spreading the water over every part concerned. The second washing is for assurance, while the third is recommended because Allah loves odd numbers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
