Reference: Sharh ‘Umdatil-Fiqh – Tape No.4 q39
Question: I heard one of the scholars say that directly touching the bottom and the private parts does not invalidate the wudhoo, using as proof the hadeeth
«it is just a part of you»
?
Response: However, there is another hadeeth which is more authentic (stronger) than it, that the Prophet ﷺ commanded the wudhoo [to be done again] for the one who has touched[1] his private part; both of these [narrations] are in Buloogh al-Maraam. [So] you are taking one hadeeth and leaving the other?!
Translator’s note:
[1]
«Whoever touched his private part, [then] let him perform wudhoo»
