The Qur’anic wording lamastum al-nisa permits consideration of a literal sense of touch and an allusive sense referring to intercourse. In the textbook’s Hanafi methodological reading, the relevant figurative sense is sexual intercourse, rather than combining it with physical touching in the same occurrence.
«أو لامستم النساء»
Or you have touched women.
Juristic schools differ on the ablution implications of touching. The present point is interpretive, not a standalone legal verdict: a scholar may identify two linguistically possible readings yet select one according to a defined method.
