What is the ruling on touching the vulva through clothing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026

However, if the intention is touching the private parts over clothing, then this does not invalidate ablution, because touching the private parts with a barrier does not invalidate ablution, unlike touching them without a barrier.
