Question:
If by mistake someone has sworn (taken out a bad word from one’s mouth) and that is done very softly or silently or by mistake, does that break wudu?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Swearing does not break the wudu, even if it is done loudly. However, it is mustahab (praiseworthy/preferable) to renew one’s wudu after committing a sinful act. (Noorul Idaah: pg 34)
And Allah knows best.
