Does touching and kissing break the Wudhu?
Question
If my husband and I have just completed our Salaah or if my husband comes home from work and i have wudoo and he holds my hand, touches my face or gives me a kiss on the cheek, is my / our wudoo invalid? Do we have to reperform our wudoo for the next Salaah? Jazaakallah.
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
According to the Hanafi mazhab, a male (including husband and wife) touching each other does not invalidate wuzu.
And Allah knows best
