Factors that break wudhu

Discharge

Q: I have sometimes frequent discharges. Once I found it out that there was nothing on my pad, but with a mirror I saw the discharge exiting the private part. Other time after wudu I took a mirror to check and saw inside white liquid discharge that was about to flow out, meaning had I not check it and made salah immediately after wudu I would make it with discharge out of the private parts. I have some questions here.

1. If I suspect the discharge to be in contact with my pad because it is at the edge of vagina, even if the discharge didn’t have time to fall to the pad – can I consider the pad clean or have to change it for salah?

2. After those episodes above, even if I see my pad clean sometimes I always have doubts if the discharge is at the edge of my vagina or even exited it. Do I have to really walk with a mirror and check it in my situation or what is the ruling here?

3. If I made my wudu and feel some movements in vagina like air or discharge, but not sure, do I have to take a mirror and check or can ignore? I am afraid that my salah will be void. By the way, is air coming from vagina breaking wudu?

4. If I check myself with a mirror and see some discharge is inside but not yet out, but about too. If I make my salah, do I have to check after salah if the discharge is out and I need to redo my salah?

5. As in 4. when I see discharge is about to flow I skip sunnas (except fajr), because I am the only Muslim at home and I don’t want my non-Muslim family to say that I spend a lot of time in toilet and only worshipping Allah. Is it ok in shaa Allah or I am trying to escape Allah’s test?

Flowing blood

Q: I counted my period to be over close to fajr, so I was making my ghusl early in the morning. Before ghusl I squeezed a spot on my body knowing it will bleed a bit. Indeed I saw blood which wasn’t really flowing but was there on the top of the little wound, I applied a napkin on the wound and blood was seen on it afterwards. Few minutes after I started making ghusl, immediately I can say. At the end of ghusl I somehow scratched the wound a bit and probably some blood gathered on the top again and may be flew, but because of water it wasn’t visible. When I finished ghusl I applied napkin again and saw again a little spot of blood on it. I washed that area, applied new napkin so that my clothes are secured from blood and made new wudu and made my isha and with with the same wudu. Fajr starts at 06:26 and I finished my witr at 6:28. Now please let me ask my questions as they are in my head, so that I in shaa Allah can use the knowledge for the future, because I can misunderstand your answer and be wrong in my worship to Allah.

1. If I have a wound that is fresh and blood is flowing – must I wait for it to dry or can continue with my wudu and salah even if I have time to wait? What if I don't have time? Is applying plaster or a napkin to secure clothes clean from blood really necessary? What if I don’t have a napkin or wound is on such a spot of the body where napkin won’t be attached to or I have no plaster with me, what should I do if obviously blood will flow out of the wound if I dab the wound during wudu or salah and my clothes can become najis too? Please explain me how serious is covering the wound if you have plaster and if you have not, is it necessary or not really, how serious is to wait till blood dries if you have time or if you don’t have time.

2. I have the same question for the situation when blood is not flowing but is only seen on the wound and the skin near it, it will be removed only if you dab it. Is the ruling the same here as in question number 1?

3. In both cases above what can be done with one wudu, sunna and fard salahs of the current time or also two fard salah, for example current asr and then next magrib not renewing wudu? Sometimes you can be out and don’t have possibilities to make new wudu or you are in the meeting. What must you do?

4. I have some qazas to repay, in cases described in question 1 and question 2, can I be making my qazas after a current fard salah all with the same wudu or have to renew it everytime or even wait till blood dries?

5. And finally with all my explanation above how I made ghusl and wudu, how late I was for witr and that I did my isha and witr with the same wudu – is my ghusl and witr valid in shaa Allah?

Wound bleeding after ghusl

Q: I had a small cut on my body and small amount of blood was flowing from it. I had to take fardh (compulsory) bath. I tried to stop this flow of blood but could not during taking bath. After completion of bath blood stopped flowing. Is my bath valid or not?

The coming out of discharge

Q: When I was at school I had some dirty sexual thoughts during the day and I was not sure if discharge had came out or not but when I got home I noticed only a tiny bit of discharge on my underwear, but when I used the bathroom and washed there was a lot of discharge. Am I napaak? If I don't do ghusul right away will everything in my use become napaak?

Discharge coming out due to one's thoughts

Q: I got some dirty sexual thoughts but changed my mind as fast as I could and I kept reminding my self not to think of the thoughts later like 15-20 min or so I went to the washroom and when I was washing I noticed discharge it wasn't a lot but it was a bit more then usual so am I napaak? Also what's the ruling in this type of discharge from those thoughts when is ghusl needed?
