Touching towel while performing ablution does not break it

416

Question

Assalaamu alaykum. If you unintentionally touch cotton or a towel or clothes while performing ablution or Ghusl (shower taken in case of major ritual impurity), does this break the ablution and Ghusl, or is it still valid? You are not meant to dry yourself till you finish, but this was unintentional. I also do not think that it would dry you very much if you only touch it briefly. May Allaah reward you.

Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

If the person touches a towel or clothes while performing ablution or Ghusl, then this has no effect at all on the validity of his ablution or Ghusl; i.e. they remain valid.

Allah knows best.
