Is the fluid that comes out of a woman pure or impure?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is the white or yellow fluid that comes out of a woman pure or impure, given that it comes out continuously and in a foul manner?
Answer : The fluid that comes out of a woman exits from the two passages. What we know from the general statements of the scholars is that everything that exits from the two passages is impure, except for semen. Likewise, what we know is that everything that exits from the two passages invalidates the ablution. If it is continuous, it is given the ruling of one who has incontinence of urine: he performs ablution for prayer when its time enters, and he remains in a state of purity until the time ends, even if this fluid continues to come out. However, I have some concern in my heart about this matter. I asked one of the brothers at King Faisal University in the Eastern Region to prepare a research paper on the topic, and he wrote it for me, but he did not send it to me except with one of the brothers who gave it to me recently in Makkah. I have not yet studied it. So, up to now, I have not been certain of the answer that might be understood from the words of the scholars. I have also researched this with His Eminence Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz, and this is what we arrived at: its ruling, if it is continuous, is the ruling of incontinence of urine. Nevertheless, I will return to it, if Allah wills, after I study this research that the doctor I asked to do it has prepared.
