I read that if you touch the private parts you should make wudhu. In a book I read that it is the opinion of some scholars that washing the hands is sufficient. Is this the opinion in the hanafi school. Once I touched my back above the private but below the navel and prayed so would I have to repeat that salah?
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
Answer:
In the Hanafi Fiqh touching the private parts in any way, does not invalidate the wudhu. This ruling applies regardless of whether the touch is over a cloth, bare handed, with the palm, or with the outer hand. (Fatawa Hindiyyah p.18 v.1)
