Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
Among the washes that are recommended based on credible evidence, which can replace ablution, are:
- The wash for entering the holy city of Medina and for being in it.
- The farewell wash at the grave of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).
There are other washes mentioned by scholars (may God be pleased with them) in the recommended washes, but their recommendation has not been established with us, and it is permissible to perform them out of hope, including the wash for visiting any infallible, whether close or distant.

Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
The only wash that suffices for ablution is the wash of janabah (major ritual impurity), and of course, the precautionary wash of janabah does not suffice for ablution.
