The questioner : Does a woman’s ablution become invalid if she washes her child of impurity?
The Shaykh : A woman’s ablution does not become invalid if she washes her child of impurity, because the stronger position is that touching the private parts does not invalidate the ablution, except when a man touches his penis for the sake of desire, in which case his ablution becomes invalid.
This is the position we have detailed, and it is the position that reconciles the evidence. It is well known that if a woman washes her child of impurity, she cannot possibly be touching him for the sake of desire. Therefore, her ablution does not become invalid.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
