Can you touch your private parts during ghusl?

Published in Ghusl Etiquette 1 min read

Touching your private parts intentionally during ghusl is generally discouraged, and unintentionally touching them invalidates the wudu.

According to religious guidance, the private parts are considered haram to be touched intentionally during ghusl. The reference provided states: "While doing ghusal, it is instructed to wash the private parts before doing other steps of ghusal, this also explains that private parts are considered haram to be touched intentionally, and if you are doing ghusal, an unintentional touch will also invalidate the wudu and you will have to remake it after completing..." This highlights the importance of avoiding intentional contact. If you unintentionally touch your private parts during ghusl, your wudu is invalidated, requiring you to perform it again after completing ghusl.

Action Status during Ghusl
Intentional Touching Generally discouraged (haram).
Unintentional Touching Invalidates wudu; wudu must be redone after ghusl completion.
