Question & Answer
Does touching the armpit or underarms breaks the wudhu?

Answer:



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

We begin with Allah’s blessed name, we praise him and we glorify him, seek his forgiveness and ask him to guide us. Whoever Allah guides, None can lead astray and whoever he misguides, None can guide. There is no power and no strength except from Allah, The most high, the Most great, the most powerful. We bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers. We pray for peace and blessings on all the noble messengers and in particular on the last of them all “the blessed prophet Mohammad (pbuh)”

All the scholars are unanimous in their opinion that the following acts invalidate one's wudu or ablution:

  • Any release from one's private parts (urine, sexual emission, wet dream release, menses blood for women, stool, wind, etc.)
  • Sexual emission.
  • Wet dreams.
  • Menses blood.
  • Stool (offering call of nature).
  • Releasing wind.
  • Deep sleep
  • Sexual intercourse.

Regarding the acts mentioned below, there are a difference of opinion among the scholars, whether these acts invalidate wudu or not.

  • The touching of one's private parts.
  • The touching of women.
  • Constant bleeding of blood from any part of the body.
  • Vomiting.
  • The consuming of camel meat.
  • The washing of a deceased's body.

Dear sister, touching ones armpits does not break ones wudu. And Allah alone knows the best.

I ask Allah to make this a sincere effort, seeking his pleasure, and I ask him to grant us refuge in him from the evils within ourselves, and that in our deeds. I ask him to grant us success in achieving whatever pleases him; And May Allah Shower His blessings and mercy upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), his family and his Companions and on all those who follow him until the final hour.
