The ruling on touching the private parts with the right hand while relieving oneself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the prohibition against touching the private parts with the right hand absolute, whether one is relieving oneself or not? And is the prohibition for the sake of prohibition or for the sake of disapproval?
Answer:
The prohibition is for the sake of disapproval, for the sake of avoiding it, and it is general in relieving oneself. If it is not disliked in relieving oneself, and a person does not need to do so, how much more so in other cases? One should never touch it with the right hand. Is the prohibition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while relieving oneself also for the sake of prohibition or for the sake of disapproval? It is for the sake of disapproval. Everything that falls under etiquette, the prohibition in it is for the sake of disapproval. Yes.
