Is it permissible for me to combine prayers if I have continuous discharge and difficulty performing ablution for each prayer, especially for Maghrib prayer?

The Malikis and Ibn Taymiyyah hold that a continuous ritual impurity (hadath da'im) does not invalidate wudu' (ablution), and it is permissible for a person afflicted by it to pray as long as their wudu' is not nullified by their own voluntary action. Adhering to this school of thought has strength, and seeking dispensation (tarakhkhus) through the concessions of scholars out of necessity is permissible.
