What Nullifies the Wudhu?
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said,
لَا تُقْبَلُ صَلَاةُ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ
قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ مَا الْحَدَثُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ فُسَاءٌ أَوْ ضُرَاطٌ
قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ مَا الْحَدَثُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ فُسَاءٌ أَوْ ضُرَاطٌ
"The prayer of a person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not accepted until he performs (repeats) the ablution." A person from Hadaramout[2] asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?" Abu Huraira replied, " 'Hadath' means the passing of wind from the anus**."
** فُسَاءٌ: passing of wind without sound.
** ضُرَاطٌ: passing of wind with sound.

2. R Doubt does not nullify wudhu.
Abdullah bin Zaid bin Aasim رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated that,
أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ الشَّيْءَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ لَا يَنْفَتِلْ أَوْ لَا يَنْصَرِفْ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا
“He asked about a person who imagined to have passed wind during the prayer. Allah' Messenger replied: "He should not leave his prayers unless he hears a sound or smells something."
[NARRATED BY ABDULLAH BIN ZAID رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ , RECORDED IN SAHEEH BUKHARI (BOOK OF WUDHU) 1:139, SAHEEH MUSLIM: BOOK OF MENSTRUATION: 702[4]]
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said,
إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَطْنِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ أَمْ لَا
فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيْحًا
فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيْحًا
“If any one of you has pain in his abdomen, but is doubtful whether or not anything has issued from him, be should not leave the mosque unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.”

3. P Sleep nullifies wudhu.
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said,
وِكَاءُ السَّهِ الْعَيْنَانِ فَمَنْ نَامَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
“The eyes are the leather straps of the anus, so the one who sleeps should perform ablution.”
[NARRATED BY ALI رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ; RECORDED IN ABU DAWOOD (BOOK OF PURIFICATION): 203[5], AUTHENTICATED (SAHEEH) BY ALBANI IN SAHEEH AL JAAMI: 7117]
Sleep breaks wudhu only it is deep and in which a person looses his awareness. This is implied by the hadith of Anas who said, "The companions of the Prophet were waiting for the delayed night prayer until their heads began nodding up and down (from drowsiness and sleep). They would then pray without performing ablution." (Related by ash-Shaifi, Muslim, Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi.)
[QUOTED FROM FIQH US SUNNAH IN THE SECTION ON “WHAT NULLIFIES WUDHU”]
4. P Drowsiness does not nullify wudhu.
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said,
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ
إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ
فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ نَاعِسٌ لَا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ
إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ
فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ نَاعِسٌ لَا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ
"If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying he should go to bed (sleep) until his slumber is over because in praying while drowsy one does not know whether one is asking for forgiveness or for a bad thing for oneself."

5. Vomiting does not nullify wudhu.
Abu Darda’a رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated,
اسْتَقَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَفْطَرَ فَأُتِيَ بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأ
“Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ vomited. So he broke his fast and when water was brought to him he performed wudhu.”
[NARRATED BY ABU DARDA’A رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ; RECORDED IN MUSNAD AHMED: 26989 AND TIRMIDHI. SHOEB ARNAUT MNETIONS IN HIS COMMENTARY ON MUSNAD AHMED – “THIS HADITH IS SAHEEH”]
P “On the basis of this Hadith we can say that it Mustahab (recommended) to do Wudhu after vomiting” (Ibn Taymiyah, Majmoo al Risalil Kubra 2: pg no 234) However to prove that vomiting breaks Wudhu we need a clear command of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَwhich is not present. For example the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ bathed after fainting. But this does not prove that after a person faints it becomes compulsory to bath.
There is a famous Daeef hadith on this subject. However we cannot prove an issue from a Daeef Hadith. Aisha رضي الله عنها narrates that the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said,
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلى الله عليه وسلم QP
مَنْ أَصَابَهُ قَيءٌ أَوْ رِعَافٌ أَوْ قَلَسٌ أَوْ مَذِيٌ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأَ
ثُمَّ لِيَبْنِ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ فِي ذلِكَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ
“Whoever vomits or bleeds through the nose, or blurps and food comes out or if Madhi (preseminal fluid) comes out then he should go and do Wudhu (ablution) again, then he should go back and complete whatever is left from his Salah and he should not talk to anyone in between.”

6. Touching a woman does not nullify wudhu.
Aishaرَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُا narrated,
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ
كُنْتُ أَنَامُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرِجْلَايَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ

قَالَتْ وَالْبُيُوتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَيْسَ فِيْهَا مَصَابِيْحُ
"I used to sleep in front of Allah's Messenger with my legs opposite his Qibla (facing him); and whenever he prostrated, he pushed my feet and I withdrew them and whenever he stood, I stretched them." 'Aisha added, "In those days there were no lamps in houses."

7. Kissing does not nullify wudhu.
Urwahرحمه الله narrated,
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبَّلَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ R
قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ إِلَّا أَنْتِ فَضَحِكَتْ
قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ إِلَّا أَنْتِ فَضَحِكَتْ
“Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ kissed one among his wives, and then left for salaah and did not perform wudhu”. I (Urwah) said, “It is none other than you”. So she laughed!”

Qais narrated from his father Talq bin Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ,
عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
خَرَجْنَا وَفْدًا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ كَأَنَّهُ بَدَوِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي رَجُلٍ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ وَهَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ مِنْكَ أَوْ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْكَ
“We came a group before the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . We took the “Bayah” (the oath of Fealty to the Prophetصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. We offered Salah with the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. When he completed Salah a man from the deserts came and asked, “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. What do you say about the person who touches his private parts in the state of Salah. The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, “That is just a part of your flesh (or a part of you.)”
[RECORDED IN IBN MAJAH, NASAI. AUTHENTICATED (SAHEEH) BY ALBANI IN SAHEEH IBN MAJAH 483]
The correct understanding in the light of the above mentioned hadith is that if a person touches his private parts without any barrier or cloth in between then his wudhu is nullified. However if he touches with cloth in between then wudhu does not brake since it is just “a part of the body” as mentioned in the hadith above.
9. P Al-Madhi (Pre-seminal fluid) nullifies the wudhu.
Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated,
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً وَكُنْتُ أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَكَانِ ابْنَتِهِ
فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ
فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ
“I was one whose prostatic fluid flowed readily and I was ashamed to ask the Messengerصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ about it, because of the relation of his daughter. I, therefore, asked Miqdad bin Aswad and he inquired of him صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. Heصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: He should wash his male organ and perform ablution.”
وللبخاري : فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ

10. Eating what has touched the fire does not nullify wudhu.
Abdullah Bin Ibrahim Bin Qaariz رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated that,
عن عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ قَارِظٍ :
أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَوَضَّأُ عَلَى الْمَسْجِدِ
فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ أَثْوَارِ أَقِطٍ أَكَلْتُهَا لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : تَوَضَّئُوا مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ
أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَوَضَّأُ عَلَى الْمَسْجِدِ
فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ أَثْوَارِ أَقِطٍ أَكَلْتُهَا لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : تَوَضَّئُوا مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ
“He found Abu Huraira performing ablution in the mosque, who said: I am performing ablution because of having eaten pieces of cheese, for I heard the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ say: “Perform ablution (after eating anything) touched by fire.”
قوله (مِنْ أَثْوَارِ أَقِطٍ) اَلْأَقِطُ لَبْنٌ جَامِدٌ مُسْتَحْجَرٌوَهِيَ مِمَّا مَسَّتْهُ النَّارُ .

اَلأَثْوَارُ جَمَعُ ثَوْرٍ وَهِيَ الْقِطْعَةُ مِنَ الْأَقِطِ .
قوله (مِنْ أَثْوَارِ أَقِطٍ)

‘الأثوار’: is the plural of ‘ثور’ which means piece of cheese.

Abdullah Bin Abbas رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated,
عَنْ عَبْدِاللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكَلَ كَتِفَ شَاةٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكَلَ كَتِفَ شَاةٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ
“Allah's Messenger ate a piece of cooked mutton from the shoulder region and prayed without repeating ablution.”
[NARRATED BY ABDULLAH BIN ABBAS رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ RECORDED IN SAHEEH BUKHARI (THE BOOK OF ABLUTION) 1:206, ALSO IN SAHEEH MUSLIM]
When we have both of the above Hadith in front of us we understand that the statement “Perform ablution (after eating anything) touched by fire.” This is in the form of a recommendation and that it is Mustahab to do Wudhu. But it is not compulsory since the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ offered Salah without repeating his Wudhu after eating cooked mutton. Some scholars hold that the first Hadith is abrogated by the second one. However there is no evidence to say that it it not Mustahab (recommended) anymore. Hence it is not compulsory for a person to do wudhoo after eating cooked food, but it continues to remain recommended for him to do so based on the Hadith of Abu Hurairah رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
[SIMILAR EXPLANATION HAS BEEN GIVEN BY SHAIKH ABDUR RAHMAN MUBARAKPURI IN “TOHFATUL AHWAZI” VOL 1, BOOK OF TAHARAH, PG NO 219]
11. P Performing wudhu after eating the meat of camel and sheep.
Jabir Bin Samrah رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrated,
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

قَالَ أَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَتَوَضَّأْ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ ...
“A man asked Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ “Should I perform wudhu after (eating) the meat of sheep?” He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, “Perform wudhu if so desire, and if you do not wish, do not perform it.” He said, “Should I perform wudhu after (eating) camel’s meat?” He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, “Perform wudhu after (eating) camel’s meat.”
[NARRATED BY JABIR BIN SAMRAH رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ RECORDED IN SAHEEH MUSLIM]
After eating Camel’s meat wudhu is nullified. This is only for the meat of the Camel not for all meat. For all other meat it is Mustahab to do Wudhu after eating as explained above.
12. Urinating and excrement nullifies wudhu.

13. Bleeding does not break Wudhu
There is no Saheeh Hadith to prove that bleeding breaks Wudhu, nor is there any evidence to prove that if blood flows after coming out this breaks wudhu. Some people quote the hadith mentioned in point 5, but that hadith is Daeef as mentioned there.
Imam Bukhari mentions,
وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ فَرُمِيَ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَنَزَفَهُ الدَّمُ فَرَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَمَضَى فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ مَا زَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي جِرَاحَاتِهِمْ
“It is narrated from Jaabir رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ that the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ was in the battle of Zaat ar Riqa. One man got injured with an arrow, still the man did Ruku and Sujud and continued to pray.” Hasan Basri says, “Muslims used to conitinuously offer salah even with their wounds.”
عَصَرَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَثْرَةً فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا الدَّمُ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ
“Ibn Umar sqeezed his pimple and blood came out and he did not repeat his Wudhu.”
