Turkish term or phrase: abdest
O namaz kılarken hacılar bekledi. Zahid düşünceye dalmış, kendinden geçmişti, nihayet bulunduğu halden ayrıldı. Hacıların içinde gönül gözü açık bir adam vardı, gördü ki zahidin elinden ve yüzünden sular dam¬lamakta, elbisesi abdest suyundan ıslak.

wudu
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wudu

Wudu (Arabic: الوضوء al-wuḍū', Persian:آبدست ābdast, Turkish: abdest) is the Islamic act of washing parts of the body using water. Muslims are required to perform wudu in preparation for ritual prayers and for handling and reading the Qur'an. Wudu is often translated as "partial ablution", as opposed to ghusl, or "full ablution".

  -> Evet, ve görülüyor ki "abdest" dilimize Farsçadan girmiş. Bence biz de öztürkçe kullanıp "Arınma" diyebiliriz.
agree  abdullah erol (X): Wudu is often translated as "partial ablution", as opposed to ghusl, or "full ablution".

neutral  Mehmet Hascan: This is a quote from a novel, I suppose. The word "wudu" may be construed as "voodoo" by readers in the target language. "Ablution", however, is a term that is more commonly used worldwide.

neutral  Alper Karayilan: its not a popular usage, ablution is the most popular.
