Washing the Private Parts is not a Part of Wudhu'

Question :

If a person awoke from sleeping and he had neither major nor minor ritual impurity, and he had gone to sleep in a state of ritual purity, awoken from sleep and renewed his Wudhu', in this case, is his Wudhu' complete or not?

Answer:

Yes, his ablution is correct, and he is not required to perform Istinja', that is washing the private parts. He is only required to wash the parts which can be seen, and that is the Wudhu' which is well known, and saying in this case that is renewed as said by the common people is a mistake, because renewal of Wudhu' necessitates one being in a state of purity, and this person has minor impurity, which is sleep, and that invalidates Wudhu', but does not require Istinja'.
