Invalidation of wudu

Theoretically, one can perform one wudu for fajr salaat and this wudu would be considered valid for the rest of the day. However, certain things invalidate the wudu (often referred to as "breaking wudu") and these can be stated generically thus:

  1. Defecation, passing gas or urination.
  2. Emission of semen.
  3. Sleep.
  4. Passing blood.
  5. Vomiting.
  6. Loss of senses.
  7. Fainting
  8. laughing aloud whilst in Salah. Ṣalāt(Arabic: صلاة‎; pl. ṣalawāt) is the name given to the formal prayer of Islam.
  9. sexual contact with another person.

Some consider the below actions will also invalidate wudu

  1. Touching the private parts with the barehands
