The ruling on the invalidation of wudu' by washing children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Rayaan asks: Regarding children and washing them after they relieve themselves, up to the age of five, does this invalidate the wudu'?

Answer:
If there is no barrier on the hand that has performed wudu' and is clean, and it touches his private part, touching the front or the back without a barrier, then it invalidates her wudu' if she was in a state of wudu'. However, if she is wearing something on her hand or places a barrier between her hand and the child's private part and washes him from behind it, then it does not invalidate her wudu' by doing so. Yes.
