Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks: Does touching the private parts without a barrier invalidate the ablution?

Answer:
Yes. Touching the private parts with the hand, specifically with the palm, directly without a barrier, invalidates the ablution. This is based on the hadith of Basrah, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who touches his penis should perform ablution.من مس ذكره فليتوضأ
Sunan Abi Dawud 181Sahih (Al-Albani)
. Yes.
