Wiping the area around the private parts and its effect on invalidating the ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And what is the ruling for one who touches something other than the faces, such as the back or the work? Is it necessary to perform wudu if it is without desire? And does the flow of the nose have an effect in that?
The Shaykh:
And is there a prohibition?
The questioner:
It will be known by his preference in that.
The Shaykh:
We have previously stated that what invalidates the wudu is touching the private part only, the front or the back. As for touching what is around the private part, this does not invalidate the wudu; what is around the private part does not invalidate the wudu. Only touching the penis invalidates the wudu; this is what has the explicit text. The scholars have included the ring of the anus with it. So if one touches the ring of the anus, the scholars have included it with touching the penis by analogy. As for touching anything else, this does not invalidate the wudu. Yes.
