Answer

Coming into contact with impurity does not invalidate the Wudhu. Wash off the affected portion only.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
