A man thinking about a woman while performing wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 10368 )
Q: Sometimes, during the ablution, many thoughts come to mind, unrelated to the prayer or performing the ablution, for example, thinking
about a woman while performing the ablution. Does this invalidate the ablution or not? What is the ruling in Islamic law?
A: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions... To proceed: Thinking about matters of marriage does not affect one's wudu' if no semen or pre-seminal fluid is discharged; for mere thinking does not invalidate the wudu'. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
