The Ablution of a Pregnant Woman from Whom Fluid Continues to Be Discharged

Question:
The questioner, Umm Haytham from Dammam, says: Honorable Shaykh, a pregnant woman has a continuous discharge from her private parts, and it is difficult for her to perform wudu for every prayer, especially on cold days. Does this discharge invalidate the wudu, requiring her to perform wudu for every prayer despite the difficulty? Or is it permissible for her to pray all the obligatory prayers with a single wudu?

Answer:
She should not pray the obligatory prayers with a single wudu while the discharge is continuous, because discharge from the private parts invalidates the wudu; it invalidates the wudu. She must perform wudu for every prayer. If this is difficult for her due to the severe cold, as she says, she may combine two prayers with a single wudu. She may combine Dhuhr and Asr, or Maghrib and Isha, either by advancing the later prayer or delaying the earlier one, with a single wudu. Yes.
