What are the discharges that resemble water or are sticky and transparent and are continuously released, and what is the ruling on prayer when one feels their return during prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Vaginal discharge from a woman is pure but nullifies ablution (Wudu'). If this discharge is continuous and uncontrollable ( سلس - سلس البول), the woman must perform Wudu' for each prayer after its time has begun. With this Wudu', she can perform the obligatory (fard) prayers and supererogatory (nafl) prayers until the time for that prayer expires or another nullifier occurs. The criterion for continuous discharge (سلس) is the absence of sufficient time to perform the prayer with proper purity. However, if there is enough time for the discharge to stop, allowing her to perform the prayer with proper purity, then she must wait for that time. This discharge does not necessitate a ritual bath (ghusl) or removal from the body and clothes because it is pure.
