Inserting a dry tissue in one's private part to prevent discharge

· 14 Jumada I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a discharge problem. I am not sure whether I am qualified as a mazoor or not. On normal days, as a precaution, I insert a tissue into my private part, but while I am fasting I dont insert tissue because my fast may break. Sometimes I am unable to clean the area properly with a tissue and then I insert a dry tissue. So while fasting I dont put tissue and offer prayers but I feel wetness and still I continue to pray. Since I have a discharge problem and little wetness is there when I check after prayers. What do I do as I am confused? I am afraid that I may doing kufr by offering namaz in this condition.

Answer

This is not kufr. As long as the tissue is inside and it hasn't come out the namaaz is done.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
