A Woman’s Discharges and Their Effect on Prayer and Tawaf

Question:
This questioner says: A woman has discharges coming from her constantly after sunset. What is the ruling regarding her prayer and tawaf?

Answer:
If the discharges are continuous with her, like istihadah (irregular non-menstrual bleeding), where blood or water keeps coming out, she performs wudu’ (the ablution for prayer) when the time for prayer enters. She does not perform wudu’ for prayer until the time enters. When the time enters, she performs istinja’ (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), performs wudu’ for prayer, protects herself with some cotton or something similar, and prays. She has no obligation to her husband in this regard. She washes whatever of these discharges affects her during the time. As long as she is within the time, she prays and recites the Qur’an, even if something comes out. Then, when the second time enters, she does the same: she performs istinja’ and wudu’ for prayer. As long as the discharges are with her, she prays in the second time, and so on in each time until the discharges stop.
