Dear Mufti Saheb, If a person has a problem with gas and can’t keep from passing gas every 10 minutes, does he have to refresh is wudu while during his performing hajj? (related: Mazur)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

To be more specific, this person is an elderly gentelmen, his age is 68. This individual has to do wudu everytime he has to pray due to this condition. Also he can keep his wudu and pray his salat of four rakats soon after he looses his wudu. Now while he is the rush of Hajj does he have to keep refreshing his wudu to perform it, for example while doing tawaf or going from safa to marwa. Basically all through out the journey what are the conditions and what is he permitted or has to do if he is in this condition. Jazakallah hu khairan.

Answer

RULES RELATING TO THE MA’ZUR
1. If someone’s nose begins to bleed in such a way that it doesn’t stop, or
has a wound from which blood flows continuously, or is afflicted by the
sickness of urine dripping continuously – and in all these cases he does not
have such a time wherein he could offer his salaat with (complete) purity –
then such a person is called a ma’zur (excused). The rule in regard to him
is that he should make Wudhu for the time of every salaat. As long as that
salaat time remains, his Wudhu will remain. However, if apart from this
sickness, some other matter crops up which causes Wudhu to break, then his
Wudhu will break and he will have to repeat it. An example of this is: a
person’s nose began to bleed continuously and refused to stop. At Zuhr time
he made Wudhu. So as long as the Zuhr time remains, his Wudhu will not break
as a result of the bleeding nose. However, if (in that Zuhr time) the person
went to the toilet, or pricked himself with a needle and blood flowed, then
Wudhu will break and will have to be repeated. When this time passes, and
the next salaat time comes, then another Wudhu will have to be made (for
this second salaat time). In like manner, Wudhu should be made for every
salaat time. With this Wudhu, one can read any number and any type of
salaat – irrespective of Fard or nafl salaat.

2. If Wudhu was made at Fajr time, then after sunrise, salaat cannot be read
with that Wudhu. A fresh avdu will have to be made. If Wudhu was made after
sunrise, then it would be permissible to read Zuhr with that Wudhu and
there’s no need to make a fresh Wudhu for Zuhr. When Asr time enters, then
only will it be necessary to make a fresh Wudhu. However, if Wudhu breaks
for some other reason (eg. urinating or passing stool), then fresh Wudhu
will have to be made (as mentioned above).

3. A person had a wound which bled continuously. So he made Wudhu.
Thereafter, another wound emerged and began to bleed. The Wudhu will break
and will have to be made again.

4. A person will only be classified as a ma’zur and this ruling will only
apply to him when one complete time passes wherein the blood flows
continuously, and he is unable to read the salaat of that time in complete
purity. If such a time is found wherein salaat could be offered with
complete purity, then he won’t be classified as a Ma’zur. Whatever rules
that have just been mentioned, will not apply to him. However, if one
complete time passed, wherein he did not get the opportunity to offer salaat
in total purity, then he will be classified as a ma’zur. Now, the same rules
apply to him, i.e. make a fresh Wudhu for every salaat time. When the next
salaat time comes, then it is not a pre-requisite that blood should flow at
the time. In fact, if in that entire period, blood only flows once, and
stops flowing for the rest of the time – then too the person will be
classified as a Ma’zur. However, if after this, an entire time passes in
which no blood flowed at all, then the person will not remain in Ma’zur. Now
the ruling will be that each time blood flows, Wudhu will break.

5. Dhuhr time had already entered and only after that the blood of the wound
began to flow. So he should wait till the end of the time. If it stops, well
and good. And if it doesn’t stop, then he should make Wudhu and offer his
salaat. Now, if it continued flowing during the entire time of Asr and to
the extent that he could not perform his Asr salaat, then when the Asr time
passes, he will be classified as a Ma’zur. If the blood stops flowing in the
very time of Asr, then he won’t be regarded as a ma’zur and whatever salaats
he may have read in this time will not be proper and will have to be
repeated.

6. On account of urinating or passing stool, a ma’zur made Wudhu. At the
time of making Wudhu, the bleeding had stopped. After completing Wudhu, the
blood started to flow again. By the flowing of this blood, Wudhu will break.
However, that Wudhu which was made on account of the bleeding of the nose,
etc.; that particular Wudhu will not break on account of bleeding of the
nose.

7. If this blood falls on the clothing, etc. then check: if it will fall
again before he can complete his salaat, then it won’t be wajib to wash it
off. But if he knows that it won’t fall again so quickly and that salaat
could be performed in purity, then it will be wajib to wash it off. If the
extent of the blood is more than the size of a fifty cents coin then salaat
will not be complete without washing it off.
