Answered by Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari
Question:
Can you explain the rulings with regards to Wudhu and Taharah for a person who has an excuse, such as continuous urine drops?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
There are two aspects to your question:
1) When and how is an individual classified as excused (ma’dhur)?
2) What are the rulings concerning a Ma’dhur?
As far as the first aspect is concerned, a Ma’dhur in relation to the laws of purity is the one who experiences the continuous exiting of ritual impurity from his/her body, such as continuous nose bleed, chronic virginal discharge (istihadha), continuous exiting of blood from a wound or the dripping of urine continuously, etc…. in a way that it remains for the period of one complete Fard Salat time and that one does not find sufficient time wherein Salat can be offered.
