What is the "qubul" for a woman? Is it the vaginal opening or the urinary opening? And if it is the vaginal opening, why are vaginal discharges not considered nullifiers of ablution, under the pretext that they do not exit from one of the two passages (qubul or dubur)? Is not the "qubul" opening the vaginal opening into which a man's penis is inserted?

Scholars have differed regarding the moisture discharged from a woman's private parts. The "qubul" (front private part) refers either to the place of intercourse or the private parts generally. The majority of scholars hold that this moisture invalidates ablution (wudu') because it issues from one of the two natural orifices. However, Ibn Hazm maintained that it does not invalidate ablution, as it is neither urine nor madhy (pre-seminal fluid), and he did not consider analogical deduction (qiyas) applicable here.

As for fluids discharged from a woman's private parts without lust, they do not necessitate ghusl (ritual bath). Scholars have differed regarding the ritual purity of a woman's vaginal discharge. The most preponderant opinion is that it is ritually pure (tahir) but it does invalidate ablution. This is because something that invalidates ablution does not necessarily have to be impure, such as wind (flatulence).
