Vaginal Discharges and Prayer

Question

If a woman is away from her home, can the vaginal losses which she can have prohibit her from making the prayer?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Any discharges from any private part of the man or woman nullify ablution, and the prayer is not valid except after renewing ablution.

So, if these vaginal discharges come out of the vagina, then its ruling is the same as the ruling of Madhi (prostatic fluid) and urine or other discharges from one of the private parts. Therefore, you should wash the place that is stained by it in the same manner you wash urine, and you should do ablution again in the same manner that you do after you urinate.

Allah knows best.
