    Title: leucorrhea

    Question: I am a 22 year old girl. I notice small amount of leucorrhea every day though being a medical student I know this amount is physiological (normal amount, not due to any disease) does it break my wudhu? I always wash it and make my wudhu but when I am in journey it creates a big problem. Usually I make wudhu before every namaz after washing leucorrhea which is mostly less than 1 rupee amount but while traveling it is difficult. Is there any ruling where I can offer my namaz without washing it off and making new wudhu especially when I am traveling?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1353/852/L=1433) Wudhu shall break if you feel leucorrhoea. Also the fluid which comes in leucorrhoea is impure, it will make the area smeared by it as impure. This is a common ruling. However, if you are in a journey and the fluid is nominal i.e. less than one dirham and you have difficulty in washing it then you can offer salah without washing it only by making wudhu. If you do not feel any difficulty in washing it then you should offer salah after washing it so that your salah is offered in complete purity.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
