If a man touches a female, even his sister, does his wudhu break according to the Shaafi' Math-hab?

Question

If a man touches a female, even his sister, does his wudhu break according to the Shaafi' Math-hab?

Answer

Touching a female, which breaks wudhu according to the Shaafi' Math-hab means to touch with the bare hand any bared part of a ghair mahram woman, even her hand. If the bare hand touches the bare part of such a woman even by accident, wudhu will break. Touching mahram females, e.g. mother, sister, daughter, etc. does not break wudhu.
