Using a tampon to prevent discharge
Question
A woman has a continuous clear discharge, but cannot be considered ma’zur. By using a tampon to stop the discharge, will her whudhu be valid or does she have to make a new wudhu for each salaah?
Answer
Her wudu will be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
