Continuous Discharge Preventing Wudhu

· 19 Rabiʻ II 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I suffer with discharge. Every Salaah time there is discharge there but I do have a clean time frame to read my Fardh, even Sunnah although I repeat my Wudhu multiple times. I feel like it’s Waswasa to keep on checking but if I don’t, then I feel like I’m being deceitful and that there was discharge before so I should check. Please assist.

Answer

A simple solution to avoid discharge emitting from the private part is by placing cotton wool. Before you intend making Wudhu, you should place a ball of cotton wool on the area and then make Wudhu. In this way, your Wudhu will remain intact as long as the discharge remains on the inside of the cotton wool. However, once the discharge appears on the exterior of the cotton wool, your Wudhu will be invalidated.

Also, it seems like you suffer with doubts from Shaytaan. We advise you to make Dua to Allah Ta’ala to protect you from the whispers of Shaytaan and recite the following Dua in abundance:

‘My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the Shayaateen.’
