The issue of the reasoning that it is a part of the body in the case of touching the private parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that a man does not perform wudu' from touching for six months, it is known with certainty that it is a part of the human body. Is this a way of inferring that the other hadith from the Sahih of the deceased indicates recommendation?
The Shaykh : Yes, or that if he touches it with desire, his wudu' is invalidated, because the reasoning that it is a part of the body means that you touched it as you would touch the rest of the body, a normal touch, a normal touch without desire.
Another questioner : This is a report, and a report is not forgotten.
The Shaykh : Yes, reasoning with a factual matter that cannot be removed.
Another questioner : It is only a part of you, meaning it is a report.
The Shaykh : Yes, now it is a report.
Another questioner : And a report is not forgotten.
The Shaykh : No, I don't know what happens.
Another questioner : But now.
The Shaykh : The 'illah (operative cause) now: the Messenger reasoned with a cause that cannot be removed. If the ruling is reasoned with a cause that cannot be removed, it means the ruling cannot be removed, because it was reasoned with a fixed cause that cannot disappear. So the ruling cannot disappear because it is linked to it.
