Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a man's hand touches his wife's hand, or her leg, or her foot, does his wudu' (ablution) become invalid because of that?
Answer:
If it is for desire, without a barrier. There are two conditions: that it be for desire, and that there be no barrier. His wudu' (ablution) becomes invalid. Or [as in] "or you have touched women," interpreting the verse as touching with the hand. Yes.
