No, swearing does not break wudu, but it is strongly condemned in Islam as Allah does not love those who use profanity. wudu, swearing, profanity, vulgar language, character, hadith https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CN-FwKTrMMw
No, it does not break your wudu. However, remember the hadith of Prophet ﷺ collected by Imam Ahmad that using vulgar language is not from Islam. And in fact, another narration also collected by Imam Ahmad says that Allah does not love those who use profanity and use vulgar language. So although it does not break your wudu, there is no excuse for swearing. One should always be in control of what their tongue is saying.
