Wudu when najas is non-stop

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Ustadha Naielah Ackbarali

I have a problem of spontaneous excretion of najas. In other words even if I finish wudu in about 3-4 minutes a very small particle of najas may come out. I re-take wudu every time, but I was wondering if I can at least one full prayer (including obligatory and sunnah prayers). Otherwise during Isha prayer or Dhuhr prayer I will have to take up to 3 wudus to finish a prayer.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 

Assalamu alaykum

Jazak Allah Khayr for your question.

If one cannot perform ablution and the obligatory prayer without her ablution being invalidated, then she should follow the rulings related to the chronic annulment of ablution.

For example, colored discharge continues to exit from a woman during the Duhr prayer time. If she cannot perform her ablution and prayer without the discharge persisting, then, she should wait until the end of Duhr time so that there is enough time to perform ablution and pray the obligatory prayer.

If in Asr time, her bleeding remains, she must wait until the end of the prayer time (before the Makruh period) and make wudu and pray. If the complete prayer time elapses and the bleeding hasn””t stopped, she has established her excuse.

To keep her excuse, she must see its occurrence only once within each succeeding prayer time. If a complete prayer time ends, and her excuse was not seen, then, she has lost her status as an excused person.

A person who is excused must make wudu within every prayer time. She can pray whatever she wills from the obligatory and non-obligatory prayers, as well as perform other forms of worship that require wudu. Her wudu is invalidated by the exiting of a prayer time, or the occurrence of anything that breaks wudu other than her excuse, or if she performed wudu for any reason other than the excuse and the excuse was inactive but returns after making wudu.
