The invalidation of a mother's ablution by touching her child's private parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A question from one of the listening brothers, in which he says: I hope you will guide me in this matter. If a mother cleans a small child while she is in a state of wudu', does her wudu' become invalid? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If she touches his private parts directly, without a barrier, if she touches the private parts of the child she is cleaning directly with her hand, without a barrier, then her wudu' is invalidated by that; because touching the private parts, whether the front or the back, without a barrier invalidates the wudu', as the evidence has come regarding the invalidation of wudu' by touching the penis. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. And this is the same for girls and boys in the past?
The Shaykh:
Males and females are the same in this, and adults and children are the same in this.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
Because touching the private parts directly without a barrier invalidates the wudu', whether it is the person's own private parts or the private parts of another.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Whether he is an adult or a child, male or female, all of it invalidates the wudu'.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
