3 Evidence Why Getting wet will not break wudu
C.J Ahmed-21.04.2023
“Getting wet “ is a slang term to mean that a female is sexually aroused. When a female is sexually aroused, her vagina secretes a lubricants which enbles her to enjoy sexual pleasure through masturbation or sexual intercourse or outercourse such as cunnilingus. Getting we will not break the wudu because there is no evidence to prove from the authentic sources in Islam which states so.
1)Narrated Talq bin ‘Ali (rali):
A man said: “I touched my penis” or he said, “Does a man who touch his penis during the prayer should perform Wudu (ablution)?” The Prophet (sal) replied, “No, it is only a part of your body”. (Bulugh al Maram and reported by Al-Khamsa-Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic))
Some try to argue that this hadith is abrogated but there is no valid proof from the authentic hadiths which states that the prophet (sal) abrogated it.
These two hadiths are specific to touchingthe mle penis but still we could understand that touching the private parts will not break the wudu.. Masturbation is clearly not haram in Islam because there is no clear evidence proving that it is forbidden and Islam is silent on this matter. How many times would you have been disappointed trying to search for an answer on the internet on whether masturbation is halal or not and have ended up only finding poorly written articles which lack substance. Most of the articles that are to be found on the topic of masturbation are written by individuals who are either blind followers of madhabs or are just quoting the wrong fatwas of scholars.
3)Misquoting the Quran on Masturbation
The issue of masturbation has been a controversial and misunderstood topic by many Muslims. Due to the ignorance and cultural upbringing, most Muslims have started to regard masturbation as something that is wrong and sinful in Islam. There have been various fatwas by scholars among the Salaf who have mistakenly given their fatwa stating that masturbation is haram. All of these fatwas are based on one verse in the Quran which has nothing to do with masturbation. The verse is as follows:
"And those who guard their chastity. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, and then those are the transgressors."
(Al Quran23.5-7)
The above verse in the Quran is taken out of context and has been used as proof to forbid masturbation. The verse quoted above only mentions about sexual relations between persons other than ones wives and slaves and masturbation is only a thing that you engage with yourself and not others. Imam Shafi was the first person to use this verse to argue that masturbation is haram and many others have blindly taken this position of his without scrutinising what he has said. If you observe the verse carefully, you would understand that there is no mention of the word masturbation being forbidden. the word" But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." as being taken out of context and interpreted to mean that the masturbator is a transgressor as he is seeking something beyond what his right hand possesses. This verse only means about things what Allah (swt) and his Rasool (sal) have clearly explained in the Quran and Sunnah of what is sexual transgression. In the Quran and the authentic hadiths, what are mentioned as sexual transgression are adultery, fornication and homosexuality. These are what that has being forbidden in the Quran and the Sunnah. Imam Ibn kathir in his authentic tafseer explains verses 5, 6 and 7 of chapter 23 as follows:
"means, those who protect their private parts from unlawful actions and do not do that which Allah has forbidden; fornication and homosexuality, and do not approach anyone except the wives whom Allah has made permissible for them or their right hand possessions from the captives. One who seeks what Allah has made permissible for him is not to be blamed and there is no sin on him".
Imam Ibn kathir himself explains clearly that the one who seeks what Allah (swt) has made permissible is not to be blamed and there is no sin on him. The above mentioned ayah has nothing to do with masturbation and there is no evidence whatsoever from the Quran or any authentic hadith forbidding masturbation. If Allah (swt) and his messenger (sal) have not sanctioned something in Islam, then no one has the right to make it forbidden according to their personal opinions.
It is clear that getting wet will not nullify the ablution and there is nothing wrong in praying while being sexually aroused.
