Ablution in Disease IF ONE SUFFERS SOME SORT OF DISEASE LIKE ( DISCHARGE OF GAS ETC) AND BECAUSE OF THIS ACCUSTOMED PROBLEM, CAN HE OFFER PRAYERS OR KEEP THE PRAYERS CONTINUE WITHOUT NEW ABLUTION. Reply In my opinion, if someone suffers from the stated problem, he should perform his ablution before each prayer, then if his ablution breaks during the prayer, due to his disease or illness, he may continue his prayer till the end without renewing his ablution. My opinion is based on the following words of the Qur'an, which come after the directive of performing ablution before prayers: Allah does not wish to burden you; He wants only to purify you and (thereby) to perfect His favor to you, so that you may be thankfull. (Al-Maidah 5: 6) Moreover, the Prophet (pbuh) also allowed women suffering from Mustahadha (irregular dripping of non-menstrual blood) to perform wudhu before their prayers and to complete their prayer with this ablution, even if they drip blood during that prayer. I hope this helps. Regards The Learner
