Fathwa, - Women’s Discharge

Question:
I wanted to know what the ruling was for women who have discharge...
does it nullify their wudu?... if so, then what about the women who
have it daily, even if they discharge during prayer... does it then
mean that their prayerdoes not count and that they'd have to make wudu
and pray again?
Answer:
Assalamu alaikum,
The default is that anything that exits from either private parts
nullifies ritual ablutions (wudu), for both men and women. Such things
are also considered in themselves ritually impure (najis). [Haskafi,
Durr al-Mukhtar, �Bab al-Ghusl�]
This includes all female discharge, except one type. The discharge
that does not nullify ritual ablutions (wudu) and is considered
ritually clean (tahir) is the �chronic vaginal discharge� (rutubat
al-farj) that comes out normally and regularly, and is clear and not
discolored. Somescholars explain it to be akin to the �sweating of the
vaginal walls.� When reasonably possible, one should renew one�s
ritual ablutions in such cases. However, when it is difficult to do
so, such as at work or school, there is nothing wrong with following
this ruling. It is what is indicated by the words of Ibn Abidin, as
confirmed by the fuqaha.
It should be noted, again, though that all other discharge, even if
slightly discolored, nullifies ritual ablutions and is ritually
impure.
