Is the prohibition against touching the private parts with the right hand absolute, whether one is relieving oneself or not? And is the prohibition for the sake of prohibition (tahrim) or for the sake of disapproval (tanzi)?
Answer:
The prohibition is for the sake of disapproval (makruh). It is general regarding relieving oneself. If it is not disliked when relieving oneself, and a person needs to do so, how much more so in other cases? One should never touch it with the right hand.
