Whether touching your own breast breaks wudu (ablution) depends on the Islamic school of thought you follow. Generally, simply touching your own breast does not break wudu.
Here's a breakdown:
-
General Understanding: In most Islamic understandings, simply touching your skin, including your breast, does not invalidate wudu. Wudu is typically broken by things like passing wind, urinating, defecating, deep sleep, or activities that nullify purification.
-
Touching Private Parts (Aura): The reference you provided highlights that touching the private parts (aura) directly without a barrier does invalidate wudu according to some scholars. The breast is generally not considered part of the aura that would break wudu upon touch.
-
Intention and Desire: Some scholars may view the matter differently if the touch is accompanied by sexual desire or arousal. However, simply touching one's breast without any accompanying impure intention generally does not break wudu.
In summary, unless accompanied by arousal or impure intentions, simply touching your own breast typically does not invalidate wudu according to most scholars. It's always best to consult with a knowledgeable Islamic scholar for clarification based on your specific circumstances and the school of thought you follow.
