Does touching najis require ghusl?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Does touching the najis (semen or ovum or blood) by mistake or deliberately or while washing clothes leads to impurity and needs ghusl? Does inserting finger in wife’s vagina but no intercourse leads to impurity and ghusl has to be done?

Answer

(Fatwa: 362/148/L=1433)

(1) One does not become impure by touching nijasah (semen, ovum, blood etc), so one is not required to have bath. However it is necessary to wash the part of hand that is smeared with nijasah.
(2) One does not become impure by inserting his finger in the vagina of one’s wife and it is not necessary as well to have bath.
