Ruling on the purity of one who discharges a sticky fluid from the rear passage

Question:
What is the ruling on the ablution of a patient who discharges a sticky fluid from his rear passage at all times?
Answer:
His ruling is the same as that of the woman with irregular bleeding and the one with incontinence. He performs ablution for every prayer if something fluid comes out of his rear passage or his private part. When the time for prayer enters, he cleans himself and protects himself with something, such as cotton or the like. Then he performs the ablution for prayer until the next time. And so it is: for Fajr, he performs ablution, then prays and recites the Qur'an, and reads from the mushaf until the time ends and the sun rises. For Zuhr, he performs ablution until the time for 'Asr arrives. For 'Asr, he performs ablution until the time for Maghrib arrives, and so on. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the woman with irregular bleeding:. This case is like hers; the one with incontinence from the private part or the rear passage is like her.
Q: Does he change his undergarments?
The Shaykh: Whatever affects his garment, he washes it if he is able to do so. He washes that, or he changes the garment every time.
Q: If the situation requires that he have some medication in his rear passage, such as ointments, especially if he has hemorrhoids or some other conditions, then...?
The Shaykh: He wipes with tissues. He does not need anything else.
Q: But is its discharge considered impure, even though he inserts it while it is pure?
The Shaykh: The important thing is the discharge, what comes out of him. If nothing has come out of him, he owes nothing. The medication is pure.
Q: This ointment is inserted; it may go in and come out?
The Shaykh: If he inserts it and it comes out, it is considered that his purity is broken.
