Ruling on Covering the 'Awrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q182: The questioner asks: Is covering the 'awrah a condition for the validity of wudu'?
A182: Covering the 'awrah is a condition for the validity of the prayer, but it is not a condition for ritual purity. A person can perform wudu' while his 'awrah is not covered; however, he must not touch his 'awrah after performing wudu', because touching the 'awrah after wudu' invalidates the wudu'.
