Question
مَسُّ الذَّکَرِ یُبْطِلُ الْوُضُوْئَ مُطْلَقًا اَمْ لاَ
Does touching the private part absolutely invalidate wudu or not?
Answer
Alhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ‘ala Rasulillah, amma ba’d!
If the private part is touched directly without any barrier, it invalidates wudu.
“يُبْطِلُ إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَائِلٍ“
(It invalidates wudu when touched without any barrier.)
ھذا ما عندي والله أعلم بالصواب
(This is what I hold, and Allah knows best what is correct.)
