As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

With regard to changing a baby�s diaper, if you mean the act of changing itself, this does not affect the validity of one's wudoo�.

If you mean that it involves touching something that is naajis (impure, i.e. the baby�s urine and stools), this does not affect your wudoo� either, because there is no connection between touching something naajis and the validity of one�s wudoo�. It has been reported that there is scholarly consensus on this point, as stated in the book Al-Awsat by Ibn al-Mundhir (1/203). All one has to do is wash one's hands to get rid of any naajis material.

If you mean that it involves touching the child�s private parts, whether the child is a boy or a girl, in the case of a child under the age of two years, the rulings on �awrah (that which is to be covered) do not apply, as the scholars have stated, so if you touch them, this does not affect your wudoo�.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
