Is it obligatory to perform ablution for every prayer and to wash undergarments if drops of blood are released from the anus occasionally due to hemorrhoids?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the bleeding is constant most of the time, then she is considered to have a perpetual impurity (sahibat da'im), and she should perform Wudu for each prayer when its time begins. If it is not constant, then she is not considered to have a perpetual impurity. She is not obligated to wash off any blood that gets on her clothes, as a concession to ease hardship and remove difficulty.
