Question: 49018

Wudu is not invalidated by seeing the `Awrah of your wife. A man’s seeing his own `Awrah or that of someone else is not one of the things that invalidate Wudu.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Wudu is not invalidated by seeing the `Awrah of your wife . We have already listed, in the answer to question no. 14321 , the things that invalidate Wudu. A man’s seeing his own `Awrah or that of someone else is not one of them.

The Standing Committee was asked (5/270): is Wudu invalidated simply by looking at naked men and women, and is Wudu invalidated if a man looks at his own ‘Awrah?

They replied:

”Wudu is not invalidated simply by looking at naked men and women , or by looking at one’s own `Awrah, because there is no evidence to that effect.”

They were also asked (5/283): Can a Muslim touch the Mus-haf or pray if he has looked at his own `Awrah when he was doing Wudu?

They replied: “Yes, looking at the `Awrah is not one of the things that invalidate Wudu .”

And Allah knows best.
