Vaginal discharge
Question
I noticed my wife making wudhu before every salah. On inquiry I was informed that she has a problem in which she leaks from her private area. Initially I thought it was specific to her but I was told by her and this was reinforced by some research, that most women leak from this area on a regular basis.
My question is thus if this is the case and it is something all women experience than is wudhu necesaary before every salaah? My wife make wudhu before every salah as she is under the impression that the leak is so minor that she cant even tell sometimes.
If Wudhu is necessary does she fall into the catorgory of Mazoor?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
