Combining the hadiths of Basrah and Talq regarding touching the private parts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah preserve you, Your Eminence the Shaykh! The scholars have differed on touching the private parts due to the difference in the hadiths. The hadith of Basrah bint Safwan makes wudu' obligatory, and the hadith of Talq restricts it to a part of a human being?

The Shaykh:
The correct view is that it is abrogated. All the authentic hadiths are abrogated. As for the hadith of Tariq ibn Ali, it is an abrogated hadith or a contradictory witness to the authentic hadiths. It is only a release from it. The most likely view is that it is abrogated. It was in a gathering of some of the early narrators at the beginning of the Hijrah. Yes.

The questioner:
Yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
The authentic view is that it is abrogated. Yes.

The questioner:
The hadith of Talq is from the Shaykh's market. Yes.

The Shaykh:
The report stating that touching a woman does not break the ablution is either an abrogated hadith or an anomalous narration that contradicts the authentic hadiths. Therefore, the practice is based on the hadiths that state the ablution is broken. Yes.
