Question:
I was praying Zuhur farz today but I kept feeling wind or discharge from the skene’s glands. As I know from Aalima Sofia Mirza Sahibah, the skene’s glands produce mani only. I know from online sources that they also lubricate the vagina with some fluid during arousal, probably mazi. What is the correct function, I don’t know. What I felt was either gas or some type of small amount of liquid. I was not aroused or anything. It only came out from the force of sitting in the way women sit in tashshahhud.
In the last tashahhud, I felt the right skene’s gland suddenly produce some fluid but I kept praying, out of laziness because I had already renewed wudu a second time before repeating Salah. And I’m scared that this may have caused me to commit kufr whilst I was in my fast, which is very frustrating from my side.
I should have gone and done wudu again instead of finishing the salah like that. Kindly give a few words that can give me hope in thinking that my fasts and prayers from before this action can be reaccepted and rewritten as they get destroyed if someone commits kufr. I was very happy this Ramadan that I can earn a lot of good deeds. Really looking forward to doing a lot this month. I had started reciting The Qur’an but now I’m really frustrated with myself for what I have done.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Imaan is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Resurrection, and fate, the good and the bad (Sahih Muslim, 8a). (1) Kufr is the opposite of Imaan, i.e., to deny any of these things (Tafsir Qurtubi, Vol 1, Pg 280). (2) A person does not step out of Imaan except by rejecting what brought him into it (Al Aqida Al Tahawiyyah, Pg 90) (3)
Your decision to now renew your Wudhu did not lead you to Kufr, and it did not affect your previous good deeds in any way, Inshaa’Allah.
Note: You mentioned that you had to renew your Wudhu twice before performing Salah. If this is a recurring issue, you should ask a learned scholar regarding this, as you may be considered Ma’zoor (excused).
