Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman is suffering from continuous bleeding that does not stop. How should she proceed? Does she pray and fast?
Answer:
Yes, she prays and fasts. There is no issue with the fasting. As for the prayer, she performs wudu' (ablution) when she wants to pray. That is, she cleans herself, places something on her private parts to prevent the blood from leaking out. She places cotton or something similar on her private parts, not a bandage. She wraps it around her private parts, then performs wudu' and prays immediately. She does the same at every prayer time: she cleans herself, places a protective covering, performs wudu', and then prays immediately. Yes. Her case is like that of a person with continuous urinary incontinence, like a woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding. Continuous bleeding is like irregular non-menstrual bleeding, like a person who passes wind continuously. This is a continuous state of ritual impurity. Everyone with a continuous state of ritual impurity acts in this manner. Yes.
