Experiencing a Discharge Continuously

· 12 Jumada II 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have had a vaginal discharge that is whitish yellowish/cream in colour. This discharge has been for years. After the birth of my child it is still there. It is very uncomfortable since my underwear gets stained and I just feel napaak. The gynaecologist says that it is normal... But I don't know whether I am paak or not. I have been changing before each namaaz or when I feel the discharge and the salah time set. This is very difficult especially when going out. I will be going for umrah inshallah. PLEASE advise me what I should do since to make whudhu and change at every salaah is very difficult in the haram. PLEASE advise.

Answer

Such discharge will be regarded as napaak (impure) and it will break one’s wudhu. Hence, you will have to renew your wudhu for namaaz etc. whenever such a discharge is experienced.

قال العلامة ابن عابدين - رحمه الله -: (قوله: كل خارج) لعل فائدته التعميم من أول الأمر لئلا يتوهم اختصاص النجس بالمعتاد أو الكثر تأمل (رد المحتار 1/ 134-136)

المعاني الناقضة للوضوء كل ما يخرج من السبيلين لقوله تعالى: {أو جاء أحد منكم من الغائط} وقيل لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ما الحدث قال: ما يخرج من السبيلين وكلمة ما عامة فتتناول المعتاد وغيره (الهداية 1/22)
