No, according to many Islamic scholars, getting kissed does not necessarily break wudu (ablution).
The core issue revolves around whether touching a member of the opposite gender invalidates wudu. The majority opinion, based on interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah, is that mere touching, even with desire, does not nullify ablution. This includes kissing.
Arguments Supporting That Kissing Doesn't Break Wudu:
- Lack of Explicit Text: There is no direct mention in the Quran or the authentic Sunnah stating that touching or kissing a woman breaks wudu.
- Emphasis on Intention: Wudu is primarily broken by things that exit the body (urine, feces, wind) or by things that cloud the mind (deep sleep). The focus is on purification from physical impurities or mental states that prevent proper focus in prayer. A simple touch, without anything exiting the body, doesn't inherently invalidate this state.
- Variation in Opinion: It's important to acknowledge that some scholars hold a stricter view, believing that if the kiss is accompanied by lustful feelings, it may break wudu. This is a minority opinion, though, and those following it often suggest renewing wudu as a precaution.
Scenarios and Considerations:
While the prevailing opinion states that a kiss itself doesn't invalidate wudu, specific scenarios can alter this:
- If pre-seminal fluid (madhy) is discharged: The discharge of madhy due to arousal does invalidate wudu. This is because madhy is considered an impurity.
- Deep sleep: If someone falls into a deep, unconscious sleep during or after the kiss, then wudu would be broken.
- Other Nullifiers of Wudu: Any other action that normally breaks wudu (e.g., using the restroom, passing wind) would, of course, still invalidate it regardless of the kiss.
Conclusion
Generally, a kiss, even with some feelings, doesn't break wudu according to the more prevalent scholarly opinion. However, if any discharge occurs due to arousal, or if another action that nullifies wudu takes place, then wudu must be renewed. It is always best to consult with a trusted Islamic scholar for personalized guidance on matters of religious practice.
