Clarification that touching the private parts does not invalidate the ablution unless it is done for the sake of sexual pleasure, with evidence.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for touching the private parts, it does not invalidate the ablution unless it is done for the sake of sexual pleasure, based on the hadith of Talq ibn 'Ali meaning any part of you. Just as a person’s ablution is not invalidated if he touches his leg, so his ablution is not invalidated if he touches his private parts, because it is a part of him, as stated in the hadith. It is also reported in the hadith of Basrah bint Safwan that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 181Sahih (Al-Albani) Combining these two, if he touches it as he touches the rest of his body, meaning touching it without sexual pleasure, then there is no requirement for ablution. But if he touches it for the sake of sexual pleasure, then ablution is required.
