Sprinkling water over impurity to purify it
Question
In my pregnancy I've been getting clear or yellow discharge very rugularly.
So sometimes if I'm out and I have slightly more than a Dirham size then I just sprinkle water over it and try to scrape it a bit but it's always wet, not dry. So sometimes I can't wash and change my underwear when I'm out.
Does sprinkling water over suffice?
It worries me because of my wudhu and salaah and it's validity.
Answer
If the impurity spreads more than the amount of a dirham then you will have to wash it out. Merely sprinkling water over it will not suffice.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
