Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. His second question says: If a person performs the ritual bath prescribed by the Shari'ah, starting with the ablution, then washing the rest of his body, and then his feet, but while rubbing his body he touches his front private part or his back private part, does he have to perform the ablution after the bath, or does touching the two private parts in this case not invalidate the ablution? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
If he touches his face during the ritual bath, the ablution is invalidated, and he performs the ablution afterwards, whether he touched the penis or the anus. The same applies to a woman, whether it is the front or the back private part. He has to perform the ablution for prayer, because the earth is where one prays. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
