The invalidation of wudu' by touching the private parts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the stronger position regarding the invalidation of wudu' by touching the private parts, and what is the authenticity of the hadith
it is only a part of your bodyإنما هو بضعة منك
Bulugh al-Maram 72
?

Answer:
Yes, the correct view is that touching the private parts directly invalidates wudu', based on the authentic hadith
He who touches his penis should perform ablution.من مس ذكره فليتوضأ
Sunan Abi Dawud 181Sahih (Al-Albani)
, in the hadith
Whoever places his hand on his private parts, let him perform wudu' (ablution).من أفضى بيده إلى فرجه فليتوضأ
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:584
. Both hadiths are authentic. As for the statement "and a part of it," they said this was the initial ruling, then it was abrogated in the hadith regarding invalidation. Yes.
