Question:
Do a woman's natural secretions invalidate the ablution for prayer?
Answer:
The secretions that come out of a woman are ruled upon according to the ruling of the rest of what comes out of the two passages. The principle among the scholars is that anything that comes out of the two passages, from the rear or the front, that invalidates the ablution—urine, feces, pre-seminal fluid, and the thick fluid passed after urination—all of this invalidates the ablution. Likewise, blood, such as the blood of irregular non-menstrual bleeding, and likewise the fluids that come out of her private part; all of this is called an invalidator of the ablution.
If it continues with her, she becomes like the woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding, like the one with incontinence. She performs the ablution for the time of each prayer and prays according to her condition, even if it comes out. If the fluid is continuous with her, when the time for the dawn prayer enters, she performs the ablution and prays, even if it comes out of her. Likewise for the midday prayer, likewise for the afternoon prayer, likewise for the sunset prayer, and likewise for the night prayer. She performs the ablution when the time enters, like the woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding whose blood continues with her, and she prays according to her condition, and praise be to Allah.
She should take precaution with something like cotton or the like. When she cleans herself, she should take precaution with something so that it does not come out. If she uses tissues instead of water before the ablution—if water is difficult for her—then the tissues are sufficient. If she dries herself with the tissues three times or more until she purifies the place, then she performs the ablution for prayer: by washing the face and the hands to the end; that is sufficient. With this, she has the ruling of the woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding if this thing continues with her, becomes abundant, and does not stop.
