Touching your private parts does not necessarily require performing ghusl. According to many Islamic scholars, it breaks wudu (ablution), requiring you to renew wudu before prayers. However, ghusl is only mandatory after specific events like sexual intercourse or ejaculation. Always consult your local religious authority for personalized advice.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What breaks wudu? Actions like sleeping, using the restroom, and touching your private parts can break wudu, necessitating its renewal.
  2. When is ghusl obligatory? Ghusl is required after major events such as sexual intercourse, ejaculation, or menstruation.
  3. Can I pray without ghusl? You can pray without ghusl if you have not experienced any of the events that necessitate it, but wudu must be valid.
