Ruling on Touching the Private Parts of an Infant and the Rulings of Wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Muram says that she performed wudu for her infant son while she was in a state of purity. Is she required to repeat the wudu after that? And what are the rulings related to this? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
If she touched his private parts directly without a barrier, her wudu is invalidated, so she must repeat the wudu. As for the rulings, for example, if impurity from the child’s private parts adheres to her hand, she must wash her hand to remove the impurity. Also, among the rulings is preserving the child’s awrah (part of the body that must be covered) and not exposing it except for a need and to the extent of that need. If she places a barrier and covering over the child’s awrah and washes his awrah from under the covering, that is better. Yes.
