AL-KAFI #1773 : MANAKAH YANG AFDHAL, MENJAGA WUDUK ATAU MENGAMBIL WUDUK BAHARU UNTUK SOLAT SETERUSNYA?
Which is better: keeping one's wudu until the next obligatory prayer, or performing fresh wudu for that prayer?
Short answer
Staying in a state of wudu is commendable, and the same wudu suffices for the next obligatory prayer as long as it has not been nullified.

Summary
Staying in a state of wudu is commendable, and the same wudu suffices for the next obligatory prayer as long as it has not been nullified. However, renewing wudu even while still in wudu is recommended, as it was the practice of the Prophet SAW. Performing fresh wudu for an obligatory prayer is therefore more virtuous. The recommended renewal is one that does not become burdensome, such as for each obligatory prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, disunatkan untuk kita memperbaharui wuduk walaupun kita masih lagi dalam keadaan berwuduk kerana ia merupakan sunnah dan kebiasaan yang diamalkan Rasulullah SAW.
