Jazakallah. Thank you for the comprehensive explanation regarding wudu and touching women in the Shafi madhab. It’s insightful and provides clarity on the matter.

I don’t think the question is right when he says to switch from one mazhab to the other mazhab because of his work conditions not because of he was convinced that the other mazhab is more correct on that isue.

(I am not saying one mazhab is better than the other mazhab I love them all for the sake of Allah).

so if your Shaf’i while praying with your wife, at what distance should she stand to prevent you from nullifying prayer?

Correction: They do differentiate between mahram and non-mahram. However, as one my tend to overlook [in the Shafi’i school]; touching ones wife (with or without seeking pleasure) would nullify ones wudu.

As salamu ‘alaikum,

As regards, “However, and I’m sure our readers can correct me, if I remember correctly, they [Shafi’i’s] differentiate between the Mahram and the non Mahram on this issue.”

As I recall from my introductory studies of the Shafi’i school. They do not differentiate. The ruling is the same whether one touches ones wife or a foreign woman; ones wudu is broken according to the sound opinion of the school.

Also, is it the case that Imam Malik and Imam Ahmad (ra) both have similar opinions with regards to this issue?
