Question

Is it correct that ablution does not break when a husband touches the wife (not the tempting touch, but just normally)?

Answer

We hope that this message reaches you in the best of health and Imaan. Ameen.
It is narrated in a hadeeth that while Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was offering his Salaat in the night, Ayesha (radhiyallahu tala anha) touched the feet of Rasulullah with her own and then curled her feet away from his. He continued with his prayer. This hadeeth indicated that even though her husband had touched her in a normal way, his wudhu did not break because he continued on with his Salaah. Therefore, a normal touch of a husband does not break one's wudhu.

And Allah knows best.
