Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a mother washes the site of impurity from her child while she is in a state of wudu', does her wudu' become invalid by washing her son?
Answer:
If she touches his private part directly, whether the front or the back, the wudu' becomes invalid. However, if she does not touch his private part, or if there is a barrier between them, there is no harm, and her wudu' remains valid and intact.
