Does continuous vaginal discharge nullify wudhu?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaikum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

There are three consideration regarding the vaginal discharge. You should first determine whether the discharge is impure or not. To determine that, refer to Fatwa #25947, 31248

If you have determine that the vaginal discharge is indeed impure, then you should determine whether you are a ma’zoorah (excused person) or not. There is concession for a ma’zoor person to maintain the wudhu. 

The process of confirming to be a ma’zoor or not is as follows:

If the fluid flows out continuously for one full time of Salah (take Maghrib time as an example, as it is the shortest time), and the flowing does not stop for the amount of time in which you could make wudhu and perform the Fardh Salah, then you will be regarded as a ma’zoorah.

When you have confirmed that you are a ma’zoorah, you will be required to make wudhu only once for every time of Salah. Once you have made wudhu for a particular Salah, you will also be able to perform qadha Salah and all Sunan and nawafil with the same wudhu. The discharge of liquid during this time of Salah will not break the wudhu, nor will it be necessary to clean the impurity.  The wudhu will only break once the time of Salah has expired. However, if any other act that nullifies wudhu (e.g. passing of wind, etc.) takes place, then the wudhu will break as normal, as you will not be regarded ma’zoorah in that act. [1]
