*Things which nullify wuḍū’.*
The things which nullify wuḍū’ are:
1. Direct nullifiers (aḥdāth)
2. Causes (asbāb)
The aḥdāth are:
1. Urination
2. Defecation
3. Passing wind
4. Madhy
5. Wady
The asbāb are:
1. Heavy sleep
2. Unconsciousness
3. Intoxication
4. Insanity
5. Kissing
6. Touching a woman if pleasure was intended or found
7. Touching the penis with the inside [or sides] of the hand [i.e. palm] and fingers.
If a person has a doubt about a ḥadath, he must perform wuḍū’. This is unless he has constant doubt (waswasa), in which case he does not have to do anything. One must wash the entire penis if he experiences madhy, but does not have to wash the testicles. Madhy is the emission that occurs when one has minor pleasure by thinking, looking, or the like.
