Question:
This questioner says: Does touching one's wife invalidate the ablution?
The Shaykh: Repeat.
The presenter: Does touching one's wife or caressing one's wife, he says: Does touching one's wife invalidate the ablution?
Answer:
The correct view is that it does not invalidate the ablution, whether it is the wife or anyone else, provided that nothing has emerged from the private parts. Mere touching or kissing does not invalidate it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would kiss some of his wives and then pray without performing ablution. As for His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Nisa: 43], the intended meaning is intercourse, not touching. The intended meaning of is: you have had intercourse with women. As for touching her, kissing her, shaking hands with her, or the like, this does not invalidate the ablution in any case, even if it is with desire, or even if it is with pleasure. The correct view is that it does not invalidate the ablution; this is the stronger of the scholars' opinions. Yes.
