Does touching the anus invalidate the wudu?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Okay, Hamza, we move on to Abu Abdullah from Riyadh. Yes. Abu Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Please, go ahead. Yes, your question. May Allah keep you all safe. May Allah welcome you. I say. If you please, I have a question in two parts. The first part. Please. If a man is in a state of purity and he happens to touch someone’s anus, for example, while wearing his trousers or something, with his hand, does it invalidate his wudu accidentally? Abu Abdullah, the questioner, in the first part, asks: If a person is in a state of purity and he happens to touch his own anus out of ignorance or by accident, does it invalidate his wudu?

Answer:
If one touches the penis directly without a barrier, or touches the ring of the anus without a barrier, his wudu is invalidated, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
He who touches his penis should perform ablution.من مس ذكره فليتوضأ.
Sunan Abi Dawud 181Sahih (Al-Albani)
Yes.
