The questioner:
Does a mother washing and cleaning her child invalidate her wudu' (ablution)?
The Shaykh:
If she touches his private parts directly, then her wudu' (ablution) becomes invalid. If she touches his penis or anus directly without a barrier, then this invalidates the wudu' (ablution). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
As for if this is done through a barrier, such as wearing gloves or wrapping a cloth around her hand, then this does not invalidate the wudu' (ablution). Yes.
