Is it permissible to follow the easier opinion regarding the issue of female moisture and discharge, and does it nullify ablution given the absence of a clear text about it, and how can one differentiate between its types?
It was previously clarified that the discharge emanating from the vagina to the vulva invalidates ablution according to the majority of scholars. This was supported by Al-Nawawi's statement that whatever exits from the two private parts invalidates ablution.
The questioner is permitted to follow the opinion of Ibn Hazm, who does not consider it to invalidate ablution, although the more cautious approach is the opinion of the majority.
Ablution is a prerequisite for every prayer, whether supererogatory or obligatory.
The majority of scholars analogized these discharges to urine and pre-seminal fluid due to the absence of an explicit text concerning them, while the other side adhered to the absence of evidence from the Qur'an, , or scholarly consensus.
These discharges fall under the general ruling of jurists regarding the invalidation of ablution by anything that exits from the two private parts.
