QUESTION:

I would like to ask does applying hair gel on after doing wudu break your wudu? Also does applying aftershave break the wudu?  

ANSWER:

Applying hair gel or aftershave does not invalidate the wudu (ablution). Wudu is invalidated only when:

  1. Anything exits from the two private parts of the body.
  2. Impure substances such as blood or pus flow from their point of exit and encroach on a place which it is incumbent to purify.
  3. Vomiting, if it was a mouthful (this is determined by whether you were able to keep your mouth closed or not)
  4. Sleeping lying down so that the rear is not firmly seated, or leaning [on one’s side] or reclining on something such that if it were removed he would fall.
  5. Loss of consciousness through fainting or insanity.
  6. Laughter in any prayer containing ruku` and sujud.
