A woman sees some liquids (yellow color) in her underware while she is not in period. This frequently happens to her and causes a real difficulty for praying specially out side the home and as you know women in this country go out of their home frequently. What is the judgment on these liquids (pure or inpure) and should she change the underwar every time!? and What is the status of her wudu?
Praise be to Allah.
What is well-known is that the scholars say that everything that is discharged from the
front and back passages is naajis (impure) except for one thing, semen, which is taahir
(pure); apart from that everything else that has substance is naajis and breaks one’s
wudoo’. On this basis, whatever fluid comes out of a woman is naajis and requires
her to renew her wudoo’. This is what I understand after researching the issue with
some scholars and consulting reference material. However, I did not feel entirely
comfortable about this issue, because some women always have this discharge; if this
is the case, then she should handle it as incontinence is handled: if she has wudoo’ she
should wash her private parts when the time for prayer comes, and be careful not to
let the urine contaminate her. This is similar to the advice that the Prophet
gave to the
woman suffering from istihaadah (abnormal non-menstrual bleeding).
Having also discussed the matter with some doctors, it is clear that if the discharge is
from the bladder, the woman should do as described above; if it is from the vagina
then she must perform wudoo’ because of it, but the discharge is taahir and she does
not have to wash her clothes if it gets on them.
