Rulings on Touching the Penis and the Ablution Therefrom in Prayer and Outside of It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh says: Does he not believe in it? That he held it in its state, as evidenced by his saying, or if he touches it during prayer, it becomes strong in the place of his brother after the distance?

The Shaykh:
Touching his penis in prayer: what prevents him from putting his hand in and reaching his penis while he is in prayer? What is the meaning? If you touched, for example, your face directly without a barrier, or touched your hand without a barrier, or your leg, and you are in prayer, is this forbidden? Or is it forbidden? If it is forbidden to touch his entire penis, whether in prayer or otherwise, he puts his hand in and touches his penis, or he has an itch or something, or something that hurts him, he puts his hand in, he touches the zakah? No, there is no difference between prayer and otherwise. Yes.

The questioner:
And the Shaykh’s kiss, if there are two people in a council and they make a sound, the sound of the stone, then each of them takes from him that he takes from him this sound, as in the rulings of the room, the signs.

The Shaykh:
They say they all perform ablution. If there are two or a group and a nullifier occurs, he hears his voice or smells his odor and does not know, they say they all perform ablution because each of them is possible that he is the one from whom this thing occurred, and this is certain, but we do not know from whom the nullification is certain, but we do not know from whom, we say they all perform ablution, this is it.

The questioner:
The Shaykh’s son from a question without wisdom.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
For other than what descends, or for other than what is assistance, does the ablution enter?

The Shaykh:
From what?

The questioner:
If the Prophet mentioned it without validity, then it is.

The Shaykh:
Without his palm.

The questioner:
How can I help you?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
The appearance of life and he forgets through the path of the companions without intention or desire.

The Shaykh:
No, touching is specific to the palm, touching is specific to the palm, but if he touches his penis with his arm or his leg or something similar, his light is not nullified by that, as evidenced by the fact that his penis touches his thigh, as evidenced by the fact that his penis touches his thigh, and touches the near part of his body and his light is not nullified, so if he touches it with his leg or touches it with his arm or with other than his palm, then his ablution is not spent, yes, the talk is on the palm only. Yes.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is sufficient the root, if he touches the root of the penis his ablution is nullified, likewise the woman if she touches the front, her ablution is nullified, even if he touches the penis of another, a person who has performed ablution touches the penis of another, like the mother for example, the mother touched her child’s penis and she has performed ablution, her ablution is nullified, or the doctor for example treats a sick person, the doctor has performed ablution and touched the patient’s penis, the doctor’s ablution is nullified, so whether he touches his own penis or the penis of another, the ablution of the toucher is nullified, not the touched, the toucher is the one whose ablution is nullified.
The difficult knot, if he touches the excess there is no effect, if he touches the original his ablution is nullified, and if he is confused, if he touches the two, if he touches the two organs, but if he touches one, no, because he is not certain that it is the penis.

The questioner:
O Shaykh, we cannot tie the knot and so on, if a person.

The Shaykh:
Yes, according to the majority, yes, according to the majority, touching the ring of the anus nullifies the ablution by analogy to the penis, with the commonality that both of them are excretory, al-Shawkani, as far as I know, in Nail al-Awtar holds that touching the anus does not nullify the ablution because it did not come in the hadiths, but by way of analogy they say it nullifies the subject, if touching the penis nullifies, then touching the penis is all the more so.

The questioner:
And likewise if a person bathed and performed ablution, and I did not see him using his energy for a trustworthy person. Or if he listens to the unseen and is not connected, the people of the appointment magnify.

The Shaykh:
Intention is not required, intention is not required, nor touching with the whole palm or part of it, due to the generality of "whoever touches his penis, let him perform ablution," so if he touches his penis with his palm or the tip of it or the inside or the outside of the palm, it is all the same, with intention or without intention, it is all the same, due to the generality of the hadith. Yes.

The questioner:
The Shaykh’s son and he said this is what is upon him from once, there is no like of that once, better.

The Shaykh:
The majority of the multitude, the majority of the multitude, this majority, if he said the majority said, or said most of the people of knowledge, or the many of the people of knowledge, this is the meaning of the majority, contrary to consensus, consensus is what was upon everyone, but the majority or the most is what was not upon everyone, but upon the majority, it is upon the majority, yes.
