Question:
What is upon the person who forgot to say Bismillah before making Ablution?
Answer:
There is nothing upon him, his ablution is sound, because there is nothing which is established in regards to the Basmallah when performing the ablution.
A number of Huffādh have mentioned this, from them being Ahmed, Al-‘Uqayli and Al-Bazzār.
And it being legislated at performing the ablution is only benefited due to the general legislative evidences (for starting the affairs with the Basmallah).
