Does the wudu' of a person who accidentally touches a woman's hand while performing tawaf become invalid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for a person who accidentally touches a woman's hand while performing tawaf around the Ka'bah? Does his wudu' become invalid?

Answer:
Touching a woman does not invalidate the wudu' unless it is accompanied by desire. The one who touched her by mistake is excused; he did not touch her out of desire, but rather out of necessity and by mistake, so his wudu' is valid and remains.
