Touching the private parts with something other than the hand, and touching another person's private parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Something came out of a question without any wisdom. And not a question or not its assistance, so does he need to perform wudu'?
The Shaykh:
From what?
The questioner:
If his private part comes out without validity, it is so.
The Shaykh:
Without his palm.
The questioner:
Where can it possibly be?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Where it appears, and we do not ask about that. Without intention and without desire.
The Shaykh:
Touching is specific to the hand; touching is specific to the hand. But if he touches his private part with his arm or his leg or something similar, his wudu' is not invalidated by that. The evidence is that his private part touches his thigh; the evidence is that his private part touches his thigh and touches the nearby part of his body, and his wudu' is not invalidated. So if he touches it with his leg or touches it with his arm or with something other than his hand, then Allah does not invalidate it. Yes, the discussion is about the hand only. Yes.
The questioner:
It is obligatory by the text. Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is sufficient if he touches the base of the private part, his wudu' is invalidated. Likewise, if a woman touches her private part, her wudu' is invalidated. Yes, even if he touches the private part of another person. A person who is in a state of wudu' touches the private part of another, like a mother, for example. The mother touches her child's private part and she is in a state of wudu', her wudu' is invalidated. Or a doctor, for example, treats a person, yes, a patient. The doctor is in a state of wudu' and touches the patient's private part, the doctor's wudu' is invalidated.
So whether he touches his own private part or the private part of another, the wudu' of the one who touches is invalidated, not the one who is touched. The one who touches is the one whose wudu' is invalidated. The difficult case is if he touches the extra part, I am not sure. If he touches the original part, his wudu' is invalidated. And if he is confused, if he touches both, if he touches the two organs. But if he touches one, no, because he is not certain that it is the private part. Yes.
