Bismillah hir Rahman Nir-Raheem
Wudu is the the Muslim ritual of washing.
There are a multitude of opinion on this issue within the different schools of Islam.
The following is an authentic hadith narrated by `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) she states: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray for long hours at night in their apartment, and that she used to sleep in front of him. Because the room was small, when the Prophet used to make sajdah (prostration) he would tap her calf with his hand and she would retract her legs so he could make sajdah. And when he stood up she would allow her feet to return to their original position." (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
Another hadith narrated by `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) as recorded in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and then go to pray at the masjid without renewing his ablution.
So according to these it is seen that just touching does not break wudu of the husband or wife.
The different opinions on this occur in the interpretation of the verse: "Or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving." (An-Nisa': 43)
For example Imam As-Shafi`interprets the word "touch" as it litteral meaning. Imam Hanafi's interpretation implies that even if the touch is lustful it does not break wudu. But other schools maintain that if the touch is lustful then wudu is broken else not.
The analogical interpretation of the word "touch" by Imams other than Imam Shafi is sexual or intercourse.
Wudu is broken by,
- Defecation, passing gas or urination
- Emission of semen
- Sleep while reclining
- Vomiting
- Loss of senses
- Fainting
- Laughing aloud whilst in Salah
- Sexual contact with another person (ghusl is required)
- Getting Najis (filth) on once body
- Touching private parts (some schools)
Allah (subhana wa-tala) knows best.
