Wudu: What Invalidates It

If any of the following happen, you must perform wudu again before
doing salah. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to always be in a
state of wudu, so it isnot necessary to wait until hearing the adhan
(call to Salah) before performing wudu.
1.
Relieving oneself from the call of nature
*. O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salât (the prayer),
wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by
passingwet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles.
If you are in a state of Janâba (i.e. had a sexual discharge), purify
yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey
or any of you comes from answering the callof nature, or you have been
in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and you find no water,
then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces
and hands. Allâh does not want to place you in difficulty, but He
wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour on you that you may be
thankful. [The Noble Qur'an 5:6]
2.
Passing gas, i.e. breaking wind
*.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said, " Allah does
not accept the prayer of a person who has released gas until he makes
a new ablution." A person from Hadhramaut asked Abu Hurairah,"What
does releasing gas mean?" He answered, " Wind with or without sound. "
[Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.]
*. Abu Hurairah also narrated that the Prophet said, " If one of you
finds a disturbance in his abdomen and is not certain if he has
released any gas or not,he should not leave the mosque unless he
hearsits sound or smells its scent. " [Related by Muslim.]
*. 'Abbad ibn Tameem related that his uncle queried the Prophet about
a person who feels something in his abdomen while praying. Said the
Prophet , " He should not leave (the prayer) until he hears it or
smells it. " [Related by Muslim, AbuDawud and at-Tirmidhi.]
3. Sexual Relations
*. One must perform ghusl after sexual relations, i.e. when the male
private part enters the female private part.
4.
Touching one's private parts with no barrier (i.e. cloth) between the
hand and organ
*. Busrah bint Safwan narrated that the Prophet said, " Whoever
toucheshis sexual organ cannotpray until he performs ablution. " [This
hadith is related by "the five." At-Tirmidhi classified it as sahih
and al-Bukhari called it the most authentic report on that topic.
Malik, ash-Shaifi, Ahmad and others also narrated it.]
In the event that you forget whether you have done wudu or not, err
onthe side of not re-performing wudu.... i.e. do not perform wuduagain
unless you are sure that you broke/invalidated it.
Make wudu again if you experience anger.
Hadith - Dawud, NarratedAtiyyah as-Sa'di
AbuWa'il al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn
as-Sa'di. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and
performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said:
My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who
reported the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: Anger
comes from the devil, thedevil was created of fire, and fire is
extinguished only with water; so whenone of you becomes angry, he
should performablution.
