Is it permissible for a bride suffering from flatulence incontinence to perform ablution before the Maghrib call to prayer and pray after the time for it has begun, given her inability to remove her makeup after the call to prayer and the limited time?
According to some scholars, such as the Shafi'is and Hanbalis, a person afflicted with سلس (incontinence) must perform ablution (wudu') for each prayer after its time has begun, and it is not permissible for him to perform it before that. The Malikis, however, hold the view that he may perform ablution once and pray as many prayers as he wishes with it, as long as his ablution is not invalidated by something other than his incontinence. As a matter of precaution, ablution is not valid before the time of prayer begins, and beautification is not an excuse to hasten it. According to the second opinion (that of the Malikis), you are not required to perform ablution unless it is invalidated by something other than the emission of wind.
