Q&A (Fatwa)
#447: The Wudhū of the One who washes
QUESTION
” Salaam Alaikum. Hope you had a good night rest?
May Allah reward you for your hard work.
Please, I have a question.
If a person has wudu, and he washes his baby’s pooh, will the person have to perform wudu again?”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum salaam warahmatullāhi wabarakātuh
Alhamdulillāh! may Allah reward you abundantly, āmīn.
The Ulamā have formed a consensus upon the things that vitiate the Wudhu.
The touching of filth or Najis, whether that of an infant or a full-grown *is not one of them.*
Instead, it is obligatory upon you in such a situation to simply wash your hands off the filth you just described.
