We have a question that some would say is very trivial and yet, of course, it is pertinent

0:09.2

mother emails and says that does her will do break if she changes her baby's diapers.

0:18.2

So basically touching Nejasa and touching the private part does it break a one's will do or not.

0:30.0

And of course this is a question that goes back to Tahara and it goes back to what are the factors

0:52.2

that break will do pretty much, pretty much the vast majority of school.

0:56.4

This is like the default position and I do not have any contradictory position to this.

1:01.2

That touching Nejus does not break the will do.

1:04.0

Touching Nejus does not break the will do rather you must wash the Nejasa off and then you may pray.

1:10.0

So if you just touched something that is considered Nejus that is not going to break your will do.

1:16.0

However, the issue comes not for the child but overall the issue of touching the genitals.

1:21.4

This is where the controversy happens and you have a whole bunch of opinions.

1:25.4

But since this is the short Q&A, I will say that inshallah the strongest position is that touching the genitals of a person,

1:32.4

whether they're your own, whether they're spouses or even accidentally or even if you're changing somebody's.

1:37.0

It does not break the will do in and of itself unless there is lust associated with it.

1:41.2

So it is lustful when spouses or whatever that is going to break the will do as for the mother changing the diaper of the child.

1:49.0

This does not break the will do and therefore there is no problem in terms of will do.

1:53.8

However, if Nejus was touched on the skin then obviously you have to wash that area and cleanse it

2:00.6

or if it came on the clothes as well you need to do that but it does not break the will do and Allah SWT knows best.
