Does touching a woman invalidate the ablution?

Question:
From the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the listener: Iman Yusuf. A message containing a collection of questions, one of which asks: Does a husband touching his wife, or the reverse, invalidate the ablution?

Answer:
This requires a detailed explanation: If the touch is not out of desire, such as taking something from her or handing her something without desire, this does not invalidate the ablution. Likewise, if it is out of desire or pleasure, the correct view is that it does not invalidate the ablution either, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. As for His saying—(Exalted and Majestic is He): [Al-Ma'idah: 6], the intended meaning of the verse is intercourse, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions, as Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and a group of scholars said. The intended meaning is not touching with the hand. And in the reading: , the intended meaning of "touching" and "mutual touching" is, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions, intercourse. Yes.
