Question:
Does bleeding break one’s wudu?
Country: United States
Answer:
Four things invalidate the ablution. They are:
1) Something exiting from the front or rear private parts (except for sexual fluid [mani]).
2) Losing consciousness, except for sleeping firmly seated.
3) Skin to skin contact between a man and a woman, except for an unmarriageable relative or a pre-pubescent child.
4) Touching the privates with the inner part of one’s hand.
(Minhaj al-Talibin v. 1, p. 86-87)
Any of these four invalidates the ablution. Therefore, bleeding does not invalidate it.
And Allah knows best.

I notice that point 3 mentions ‘except to an unmarriageable relative.’
If there is skin to skin contact between husband and wife does this also nullify wudhu?

Assalamu Alaikum,
Does coming in contact with ‘Najis’ invalidate wudu ?
Wa’alaykum Salam,
No it does not nullify wudu’. However najasah must be removed in order for Salah to be valid.

Salaam alaikum,
Sadika, if you read the article carefully, it reveals that the default ruling which is the official view of shafiie madhab skin to skin contact between husband & wife DOES BREAK WUDU since the husband is not the wife’s mahram (those haram for you to marry like father, brother, son)
Azhar, touching najis DOES NOT NULLIFY wudu though you must wash/purify the part affected by the najis accordingly.
Allah knows best
