- Is it permissible for a woman to perform tayammum instead of wudu’ for her face if she uses medicinal creams and water would spoil the treatment? - Are the prayers of one who had a wet dream, then found a thick, yellowish discharge after Dhuhr prayer, without having performed ghusl, valid? Is ghusl obligatory upon her in this case, and what is this discharge?
If a trustworthy female doctor informs you that water reaching the face prevents healing, it is permissible to wash what is possible and perform tayammum for the face. If one sees a wet dream and finds wetness upon waking, ghusl is obligatory; otherwise, ghusl is not required. If a yellow fluid, which is the woman's maniyy (sexual discharge), is discharged, ghusl is obligatory, and the prayers performed before performing ghusl after the discharge of maniyy must be repeated.
