No, washing your private part does not break wudu.
Washing or rinsing the genitalia after urination, defecation, or the emission of madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) is a mandatory act of cleanliness but is separate from wudu (ablution). As referenced, cleaning the private parts is important for hygiene but doesn't invalidate the wudu.
| Aspect | Washing Private Parts | Wudu (Ablution) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Cleanliness | Ritual Purity |
| Relationship | Separate Act | Separate Act |
| Breaks Wudu | No | Yes (various acts) |
Think of it this way:
- Washing for Cleanliness: This is about removing impurities and maintaining personal hygiene after bodily functions.
- Wudu: This is a ritual cleansing performed before prayer to attain a state of purity.
You can wash your private parts as needed without affecting your wudu.
