Do normal vaginal secretions invalidate ablution and make clothes impure or not? And what is the relied-upon opinion regarding this, due to the difference in fatwas?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is disagreement concerning the ruling on secretions discharged from a woman's vagina without a specific cause, though there is agreement that they invalidate ablution (wudu'). The difference of opinion regarding the purity or impurity of these secretions has been previously explained. What issues from the urinary tract is impure (najis), while there is disagreement regarding what issues from the birth canal. The more cautious approach is to consider it impure, as a precautionary measure, not as a matter of preference. There is no contradiction in this issue, and the questioner may act upon what was mentioned in previous fatwas.
