Does a doctor's touching a patient's abdomen without gloves invalidate ablution, and does a vaginal examination with gloves also invalidate ablution, and what is the ruling on praying in surgical scrubs that may have been exposed to blood or amniotic fluid without confirming it?
Vaginal examination with a gloved hand does not invalidate ablution, as it is done with a barrier. There is no harm in praying in surgical scrubs unless they have blood exceeding the excusable amount (the size of a dirham).
