Wudu: What Doesn't Invalidate It

1.
Drinking or Eating
*. The Messenger of Allah drank some milk and he did not rinse his
mouth nor did he perform ablution, and he offered the prayer. [Dawud,
Narrated Anas ibn Malik]
2.
Kissing a mahram woman (such as yourwife)
*. 'Aishah related that the Messenger of Allah kissed her while he was
fasting and said, " Kissing does not nullify the ablution,nor does it
break the fast. " [Related by Ishaq ibn Rahawaih and al-Bazzar with a
good chain. Evaluating its authenticity, 'Abdul-Haqq says, "I do not
know of any defect in the hadith that could cause its rejection."]
3.
Laughing
*. Laughing does not invalidate wudu. Laughing loudly during salah,
however, does invalidate the salah.
4.
Vomiting
5.
Changing a baby's diaper
*. Just wash your hands after changing the diaper.
6.
People with unusual circumstances (i.e. women with"prolonged flows of
blood"), people who cannot control their urine, people with
flatulence, and so on, should perform one ablution for each prayer
whether their problem exists all or part of the time. Their prayers
will be acceptable even while their problems are occuring.
7.
Talking During Wudu
Ghusl
(Complete body washing,i.e. bath)
Hadith - Muwatta 2.74
Yahya related to me fromMalik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn
Abdullah that Abu Salamaibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf related that he had
asked A'isha, the wife of the Prophet what made ghusl obligatory. She
said, "Do you know what you are like, Abu Salama?You are like a chick
whenit hears the cocks crowing and so crows with them. When the
circumcised part passes the circumcised part, ghusl is obligatory."
Hadith - Bukhari 1:228, Narrated 'Aisha
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle I get persistent bleeding from the uterus and do not become
clean. Shall I giveup my prayers?" Allah's Apostle replied, " No,
because it isfrom a blood vessel and not the menses. So when your real
menses begins give up your prayers and when it has finished wash off
the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers. " Hisham (the sub
narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet told
her): " Perform ablution for every prayer till the time of the next
period comes. "
Hadith - Bukhari 1:327, Narrated 'Aisha
The Prophet said to me, " Give up the prayer when your menses begin
and when it has finished, wash the blood off your body (takea bath)
and start praying. "
