The Impurity of What Emerges from the Two Passages

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I am an unmarried girl who suffers from the discharge of a white substance like milk. It comes out most of the time, which makes it difficult to get rid of. So I asked my married sister, and she said that it also comes out of her, that it is a natural substance, and that it indicates purity and is one of its signs. After that, I began to pray and fast normally without considering it impure. Then, I came across a fatwa stating that everything that emerges from the two passages is impure, that it must be removed, and that specific clothes should be used for prayer. What is the ruling on this milk-like substance? And what is the ruling if it is transparent and colorless?
A: What emerges from the two passages, whether urine, feces, or other fluids, such as the water you mentioned, is considered impure.
Perform ablution for every prayerتوضئي لكل صلاة
.
It is also obligatory to wash whatever of it touches the body or the clothes. What emerges between the two prayer times is excused if it is continuous, even if it emerges during prayer, just like the blood of istihadah (irregular non-menstrual bleeding). An exception to this is semen; because it is pure, and it requires a full ritual bath (ghusl) if it emerges due to desire. If it emerges without desire, it only requires istinja' along with the ablution (wudu') for prayer and the like, such as tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) and touching the mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an).
As for passing wind, touching the private parts, eating camel meat, and sleeping, none of these require istinja', nor is istinja' prescribed for them. Rather, they only require wudu', which is: washing the face along with rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose, washing the hands along with the elbows, wiping the head along with the ears, and washing the feet along with the ankles.
