Question

I would just like to know that when your water breaks when going into labour, is the liquid that is released paak Is it neccessry for you to take ghusl when this happens, what is the islamic rulings on this matter.

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

The water liquid released prior to delivery of a child is Najis (impure) (Fataawa Hindiyyah Vol.1 Page 51-Ilmiyyah). The release of the liquid will invalidate the Wudhu not Ghusl (bath).

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
