Will wudhu break if fluid flows out of the eyes with pain?

· 18 Jumada II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I read that wudhu breaks when fluid comes out of the eye due to eye pain. Is this correct?

Will allerges and itchy/dry eyes fall under this?

Answer

It means that if it is on account of some infection then it will invalidate the wudhu.

No.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

What breaks wudhu?

“If one laughs aloud during salaah, his salaah and wudu will break. In the state of hadath it is not permissible to touch the Quraan Majeed. Hence, if one's wudu breaks through laughing aloud in salaah, it will not be permissible…”
