A Collection of Two Hadiths: Touching the Genitals and the Rib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: How do we reconcile the hadith "Whoever touches his penis should perform wudu" with the hadith "It is merely a rib of yours"?
Answer:
We prefer the hadith that invalidates wudu by touching the penis. We prefer this hadith because it is stronger than the hadith. They said that this allows for the possibility of abrogation. "It is merely a rib of yours" was in the early period, and then the hadith regarding wudu from touching the penis becomes the abrogating text for the first one. So it is either a matter of preferring one over the other, or a matter of abrogation.
