One Who Touches a Woman While Touching the Yemeni Corner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes, when a person is performing tawaf, he touches the Yemeni Corner and his hand falls on a woman. Does this invalidate the wudu?

Answer:
The wudu is not invalidated by that. This is because the correct opinion among the scholars is that touching a woman does not invalidate the wudu at all, provided that nothing is emitted from him. As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:
or you have contacted womenأَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ
[Al-Ma'idah: 6], the intended meaning is intercourse, according to the most correct opinion of the scholars.
