The answer

For someone afflicted with a constant impurity, such as urinary incontinence, their ablution (wudu') is not nullified by that impurity according to the Maliki school. It is, however, recommended for them to perform ablution if it does not cause hardship. The emission of this impurity during or after ablution and before wearing the khuff (leather socks) does not nullify the ablution; rather, it is nullified by other, non-constant impurities. It is permissible for a woman experiencing prolonged non-menstrual bleeding (mustahadah) to wipe over socks (jawrab) that are lined on both the inside and outside, which refers to those made of linen or cotton that resemble the shape of khuff.
