Question

I have the rules regarding a mazur, but I am uncertain WHEN to follow them. Query about answer 1087 regarding wudhu that keeps breaking by passing wind: For eg. how many times(2 / 3) does one's wudhu have to break before one becomes a mazur ? And at what stage is one no longer a mazur? For eg. if one reads one complete namaaz with one wudhu. Note: this regards a person who does not have a medical condition. Jazakallah Was-Salaam

Answer

A person who does not find sufficient amount of time to make Wudhu and perform Salaat because of any such reason (bleeding, etc.) which continues throughout one full Salaat period, will be regarded as Ma'zoor.

The excuse must be continuous - for one full Salaat period. If a person manages to keep his Wudhu for 5/10 minutes in the entire Salaat period with which he is able to perform his Salaat, then he will not be a Ma'zoor. We are unable to determine whether you are a Ma'zoor or not, hence, there is no need to discuss when and how to follow the laws of Ma'zoor. Please explain to us in detail the exact problem that you are experiencing so that we can determine whether or not you are a Ma'zoor.

What breaks wudhu?

“If one laughs aloud during salaah, his salaah and wudu will break. In the state of hadath it is not permissible to touch the Quraan Majeed. Hence, if one's wudu breaks through laughing aloud in salaah, it will not be permissible…”
