Does touching the private parts invalidate the wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a man touches his private part unintentionally, does he owe anything if he is in a state of wudu'? And if he touches it through a barrier, does he owe anything?
Answer:
Touching it through a barrier does not invalidate the wudu', but touching it directly without a barrier invalidates the wudu'. Touching it directly with the palm of the hand invalidates the wudu', whether he intended to do so or not. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever touches his private part, let him perform wudu'."
