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?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the bleeding is constant most of the time, then she is considered to have a perpetual impurity (sahibat hadath 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.
