The ruling on a woman touching the mushaf while discharges are coming from her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: In her question, a woman from Yemen says: When I read the Qur'an, especially in the month of Ramadan, I am in a state of ritual purity, but I suffer from discharges. I want to continue reading the Qur'an for more than an hour, so what should I do? Do I have to perform wudu' again when I feel these discharges coming out? I am in a state of confusion, Honorable Shaykh, so please issue a ruling on this question.

Answer:
Yes, the discharges that come from the private parts invalidate the wudu'. So if you are reading from the mushaf and touching the mushaf, you must refrain from doing so, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "No one touches the mushaf except one who is in a state of purity." So you have to perform wudu'; first, you should clean yourself, dry the area, and perform istinja', then perform wudu' with water, and then return to reading the Qur'an from the mushaf. However, if you are reading the Qur'an from memory without the mushaf, there is no harm in continuing; because it is permissible for a person to read the Qur'an while not in a state of purity from minor ritual impurity. Yes.
