Is it permissible to perform tayammum in school while experiencing secretions and with no place available for wudu and prayer, and how should one manage prayers given these compelling health circumstances?
Prayer is valid in any place, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The earth has been made for me a mosque and a means of purification." Not having a designated place for prayer or a private place where disbelievers cannot see one is not an excuse for delaying prayer beyond its prescribed time.
Vaginal discharge invalidates ablution (wudu'), but it is pure and does not necessitate ' (washing the private parts) or washing clothes. However, one must perform wudu' for each prayer after its time has begun. If the discharge reaches the level of سلس ( سلس al-salas - continuous discharge), then it is permissible to combine Dhuhr and Asr prayers, and Maghrib and Isha prayers. However, it is not permissible to combine all prayers.
It is not permissible to resort to (dry ablution) instead of wudu' on the pretext that there is no place for wudu', as one can perform wudu' in a bathroom. If performing wudu' is impossible except by exposing one's 'awrah (private parts) to non- individuals, then some jurists permit resorting to tayammum.
