* If this is the case, then when performing Ghusl, if one makes wudu at the start, and happens to touch the private parts during the course of the shower (of which a good possibility exists), this will have to be repeated. * Also, what is the definition of private parts? Does this include the bottoms (butts), and for women their bosoms? When putting on clothes, again there is a strong possibility of touching these.
Answer:
According to the majority Madhaahib, touching of the private parts does not
invalidate the Wudhu. This is only according to the Shaaf’ee Madhab.
According to the Shaaf’ee Madhab, if a person, male or female, touches the
front or hind private parts, the Wudhu is invalidated.
