Is my wudu broken if I touch the opposite gender?

Answered by Shaykh Rami Nsour

Question: Assalam ‘aleykum,

Should I renew my wudu if I touch a woman?

Answer: Wa alaykum as salam wa rahmatulah.

If someone touches another person from whom pleasure can normally be derived from, and pleasure is either intended or found, wudu is broken.

Thus, if a man touches a woman either intending pleasure or finds it after touching with no intention, then the wudu is broken.
