How valid is this rule: that whatever comes out of the two passages breaks the wudu, and does the moisture that comes out of a woman’s private part have the ruling of the istihadah (irregular non-menstrual bleeding) in combining the two prayers?

The questioner : The questioner says: O honorable Shaykh, how valid is this rule: "that whatever comes out of the two passages breaks the wudu"? Is it permissible for a woman from whom this moisture comes to act according to the ruling of the istihadah (irregular non-menstrual bleeding), which is combining the prayers?

The Shaykh : This rule: "that whatever comes out of the two passages breaks the wudu" is derived from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): It is well known that wind has no substance and is air. If this wind, which has no substance and is air, breaks the wudu, then that which has substance is more impure than it and breaks the wudu. However, we see that this constant moisture with a woman, even if it breaks the wudu, is pure, and she is not required to wash her clothes from it. As for the permissibility of combining the two prayers due to the hardship of performing wudu for every prayer, it is permissible. That is, it is permissible to combine the Zuhr and 'Asr, and the Maghrib and 'Isha', if it is difficult for her to perform wudu for every prayer. But if it is not difficult for her, then it is obligatory for her to pray every prayer in its time.

The questioner : Combining.

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : He says: Clarifying the combining, that there is no shortening in it.

The Shaykh : Combining the two prayers means she prays Zuhr with 'Asr, or Maghrib with 'Isha', or 'Isha' with Maghrib, and there is no shortening in it, because shortening is only for travel.
