Inserting cotton wool inside the private part to prevent discharge

Q: I have a problem of discharge coming out every now and then. Its like I'll make ablution and come for prayer my wudhu breaks... Sometimes even before starting prayer... Other times right in the middle of prayer...

How can I perform tawaaf in this case as it will be very difficult or even if I go out to such places wherein it is difficult to clean the discharge... Will it be permissible to put tissue or cotton wool to prevent the discharge from coming out just for the purpose of keeping wudhu?

A: This is also permissible. If cotton wool is placed into the passage then the wudhu will not break as long as the discharge remains on the inside of the cotton wool. However, once the discharge appears on the exterior of the cotton wool the wudhu will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
