As many times as you want...BUT no matter how long or how many times you wash your hands, it will always have germs and never be completely clean. The average time is 20 seconds. The average amount for ME is 5 times.

When should you wash your hands?

One can never wash their hands too many times every day. Always
wash before handling any kind of edible foods, or before touching
any part of your body. In addition to that, you should always wash
your hands
1) After returning home from outdoors, especially if you are
muddy.
2) After going to the toilet.
3) After being in contact with anything poisonous or anything
with germs on it

How many times a day does a person need to do hand washing?

A person does not "need" to wash their hands on a daily basis,
but rather "should" wash their hands whenever circumstances
dictate.
These instances include:
when your hands are dirty
before eating or touching food (like if you're helping cook or
bake, for example)
after using the bathroom
after blowing your nose or coughing
after touching pets or other animals
after playing outside
before and after visiting a sick relative or friend
So the conclusion is that, you need to wash your hands a
lot.
Probably every three to four hours or so.
