Ruling on Touching a Child's 'Awrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Does cleaning a child and changing his diaper break the wudu' if you do so while in a state of wudu'?

Answer:
Yes, if one touches the private parts. If a woman cleans her child and touches his private parts, her wudu' is broken, just as if she had touched her own private parts.

The presenter: Even if the child is pre-pubescent?

The Shaykh: Even if he is, the text is general.
