The questioner : He says: If I wash my private parts, then put on my trousers, and then break my wudu' in the middle of it, do I start the wudu' over from the beginning, or do I renew it? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good, because I am in confusion...?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, if a person washes his private parts and cleans the area, it is not obligatory for him to wash his private parts a second time unless something comes out of him.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, if the questioner breaks his wudu' during the process, that is, during the renewal as the common people say, he does not need to wash his private parts again if nothing has come out of him.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean a tangible substance coming out; wind does not require washing the private parts unless moisture comes out with it. So, if he breaks his wudu' with wind during his wudu', he does not need to wash his private parts again. By wind, we mean wind without any moisture.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He does not need to wash his private parts again; rather, he renews the wudu' from the beginning, meaning he goes back and washes his hands, rinses his mouth, sniffs water into his nose, washes his face, and continues until the end of the wudu'.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
