What is the ruling on fluids coming from a woman and their categories?

The questioner : She says: Honorable Shaykh, if the time for prayer enters and a woman wants to perform wudu, but fluids have come out of her, what should she do?

The Shaykh : Continuous fluids do not invalidate the wudu.

The questioner : I mean, in the sense that if she...

The Shaykh : If she was in a state of continuous discharge before the time entered and the time entered, she remains in her state of purity. As for intermittent fluids, these invalidate the wudu, unless they are intermittent at an unknown time and she cannot prevent them; in that case, they also do not invalidate the wudu. So fluids, if we categorize them: continuous, this does not invalidate the wudu; intermittent but without a known time, this does not invalidate the wudu; intermittent with a known time, then she waits until it stops and then prays.

The questioner : She asks about istinja', O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Istinja' is not obligatory for these fluids except for urine.

The questioner : She says: Even if the wudu is invalidated?

The Shaykh : Yes, because these fluids are pure.

The questioner : Praise be to Allah. She says: If a woman performs wudu before 'Umrah and after 'Umrah, and such fluids come out of her during tawaf, is her tawaf valid, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes, her tawaf is valid in any case.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Thank you to the sister who called in.
