How do we reconcile the hadith (Whoever touches his private parts, let him perform wudu) with the hadith (It is merely a part of you)?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: How do we reconcile the hadith (Whoever touches his private parts, let him perform wudu) with the hadith (It is merely a part of you)?

Answer:
We prefer the hadith that touching the private parts invalidates the wudu. We prefer this hadith because it is stronger than the hadith . They said: Rather, this allows for the possibility of abrogation. That "it is merely a part of you" was in the beginning, and then the hadith regarding wudu from touching the private parts abrogates the first. Yes, so it is either a matter of preferring one over the other or a matter of abrogation. Yes.
