I performed wudu for prayer, and before I prayed, my hand touched my daughter’s clothing, which had urine on it. Do I have to repeat the wudu, or is it sufficient to wash my hand?

Question:
The questioner, Sina 'Ayn from Shaqra, says: I performed wudu for prayer, and before I prayed, my hand touched my daughter’s clothing, which had impurity, specifically urine. Do I have to repeat the wudu, or is it sufficient to wash my hand? And when impurity, such as urine or the like, reaches the garment, is it sufficient to wash only the place where the impurity is, or must the entire garment be changed and the wudu repeated? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.

Answer:
Wudu is not invalidated by impurity occurring on the hand, the rest of the body, or the clothing. Wudu is not nullified by impurity occurring on the person who performed wudu, whether on his garment or his body. However, he must remove this impurity from his garment or body by washing it with water, or by taking off that garment and replacing it with another. Or, if he is wearing more than one garment, he takes off the one with the impurity and keeps the pure garment.
