Wudu, also known as ablution, is a ritual purification performed by Muslims before prayer. For women, certain actions can break their wudu, requiring them to perform it again.
Here are some common actions that break wudu for a woman:
- Passing gas or stool: This automatically breaks wudu.
- Vomitting: If vomit comes out of the mouth or nose, wudu is broken.
- Menstruation or vaginal bleeding: During menstruation and other vaginal bleeding, wudu cannot be performed.
- Urine or stool leaking: If urine or stool leaks involuntarily, wudu is broken.
- Touching the genitals or anus: This breaks wudu, even if done unintentionally.
- Sleeping: Sleeping while in a state of wudu breaks it.
- Loss of consciousness: Fainting or any other loss of consciousness breaks wudu.
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and there may be specific interpretations depending on the individual's understanding of Islamic jurisprudence.
