Touching ritual impurity with the hand and its effect on the ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person touches ritual impurity with his hand, does his ablution become invalid because of that, or is it sufficient to wash the impurity?

Answer:
Yes, it is sufficient to wash the impurity. The ablution is not invalidated except by the things that invalidate the ablution, and touching ritual impurity is not among them. However, if the impurity is dry, it does not harm him. If it is wet, he must wash what has affected his hand or his foot. Yes.
