What is the ruling on one who experiences continuous yellow discharge after the time for Wudu' has expired? Should she complete her prayer or repeat it, and what is the ruling on her prayer if she completes it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The mentioned secretions invalidate ablution if they cease for a time sufficient for ablution and prayer. If a woman performs ablution and then these secretions emerge from her, her ablution and prayer become void. However, if the secretions are continuous, then the ruling of سلس (incontinence) applies to her. In this case, the woman should perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun, and she may pray both the obligatory and supererogatory prayers. If the prayer time expires during her ablution, the ablution becomes void. The prayer is not valid if any secretions emerge after it. But if nothing emerges, the ablution is valid.
