Accepted Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Looking at women’s private parts does not nullify Wudu unless it leads the looker to ejaculate. But, it is forbidden to look at women’s private parts, except of the wives. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.)…..}[24:30].

Allah knows best.
