What are the Things that do not Invalidate Wudu?
1 – If blood comes out from anywhere in the body but remains where it is and does not diffuse, it does not invalidate wudu. Wiping this blood with the hand or a piece of cotton does not invalidate wudu.
2 – Blood clot, flesh or skin falling off from a wound.
3 – To touch private parts. There is no difference whether one touches the private parts of a woman or man. Wudu is not invalidated only by touching with the hand.
* According to Shafiis, if a man or woman holds his/her own or others' private parts with the inner part of his /her hand, his/her private parts, his/her wudu is invalidated.
4 – If a man touches any part of a woman other than her private parts, his wudu is not invalidated. However, if he is aroused and wetness called madi occurs, his wudu is invalidated.
* According to Shafiis, if a man touches a non-mahram woman, his wudu is invalidated. If he touches a mahram woman, his wudu is not invalidated.
5 – Vomiting less than a mouthful.
6 – To spit out phlegm. According to Abu Hanifa and Imam Muhammad, the amount of phlegm is not important.
7 – To sleep by sitting without losing his control, like sleeping cross-legged.
8 – To cry does not invalidate wudu. To laugh does not invalidate wudu except in prayer.
9 – The blood sucked by a flea, mosquito and housefly until they are full.
10 – To smile in prayer.
11 – To clip one's mustache, to have a haircut, to trim one's nails when one has wudu do not invalidate wudu.
12 – According to Malikis, if a person definitely knows that he has made wudu but hesitates whether he has broken his wudu or not, his wudu is invalidated but according to the other three madhhabs, his wudu is not invalidated.
It is more appropriate to act cautiously regarding issues whether wudu is invalidated or not. It is not necessary but it is more appropriate for an imam to make sure that he has wudu according to the other madhhabs, too.
