The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on touching the private parts without a barrier, but not with the palm, rather with the forearm? Does it invalidate the ablution?
The Shaykh:
Rather.
The questioner:
With the forearm.
The Shaykh:
No, if he did not touch it with his palm, it does not invalidate it; it is only touching it with the palm. Yes.
