We (men) and women during the life-time of the Apostle of Allaah ( sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) used to perform ablution from one vessel. We all put our hands in it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 80)
كُنَّا نَتَوَضَّأُ نَحْنُ وَالنِّسَاءُ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نُدْلِي فِيهِ أَيْدِيَنَا
