Is it permissible to perform ablution and wear the niqab and gloves, then remove them for prayer, knowing that secretions may be discharged thereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no obligation to inspect oneself to verify the discharge of secretions, and their exit is not confirmed except by absolute certainty. If the secretions are continuous throughout the prayer time, the person experiencing them is like one afflicted with incontinence; she performs ablution after the time for prayer begins and then prays. However, if there is a known period of cessation, she should wait to perform ablution and pray during that time. These secretions are pure, but they nullify ablution according to the majority of scholars.
