What should one do if they wake up after the prayer and before sunrise, or after sunrise, and what is the ruling regarding a small amount of faeces clinging to undergarments, and what must be done about that?
The questioner's situation falls into three categories:
1. If this occurs only when relieving oneself: The impurity must be removed and the area thoroughly purified, as prayer with impurity is invalid if its removal is possible. 2. If this occurs continuously and it is difficult to guard against (incontinence): One must be meticulous in istibra' (ensuring no drops remain), thoroughly wash the area, bandage it, and perform ablution for prayer after the time for it has begun. Anything that subsequently emerges does not matter. 3. If it emerges intermittently and one can perform istinja' (ablution) from it: One must delay prayer and wait for the times when it stops, even if it means missing the congregational prayer, unless there is a fear of the prayer time expiring, in which case one prays in their current state.
