Does cleaning a child of impurities break the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If I am in a state of ritual purity and I clean a small child of his excretions, does my ablution break because of that?

Answer:
Her ablution does not break by purifying the child, unless she touches his private parts directly with her hand. If she touches his private parts directly without a barrier, then her ablution breaks. However, if there is a barrier, such as something wrapped around her hand or a glove she is wearing, and she cleans the child, this does not break her ablution. Or if she washes impurity from his body or from his clothing, this does not break her ablution.
