No, drinking water does not break your wudu.
Wudu is a state of ritual purification in Islam, typically performed before prayer. Certain actions invalidate this state, requiring you to perform wudu again. Drinking water, however, is not one of these actions.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
What breaks Wudu? Generally, actions that break wudu include:
- Using the restroom (urination or defecation).
- Passing gas.
- Deep sleep (to the point where one loses awareness).
- Loss of consciousness.
- Discharge of madhy (prostatic fluid) or many (semen).
- Anything that emerges from the private parts.
-
What doesn't break Wudu? Actions that do not break wudu commonly include:
- Eating or drinking (water, milk, juice, etc.).
- Touching one's private parts (according to some schools of thought; it is best to avoid doing so).
- Bleeding, unless it's a significant amount.
Therefore, you can drink water without needing to renew your wudu.
