Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
 (2) Solat: 
  Before we continue to look into (ii) Clothing worn in solat must be clean, let us first look into the Hadith from Ali r.a.: He was always wet with "Madzi" and he was asked to wash his part, to take Wudhuu then perform solat. As the madzi had always been discharged, even while performing solat, he might have wrapped his part so that the madzi would not soil his pant. So those of us with this kind of illness, do follow what Ali r.a. did. This may also be applied to those who have their urinary tubes connected with a tube outside their bellies. And the report from Aisyah r.a.: A woman suffered from haematuria/non menses bleeding, after Wudhuu, she also wrapped her part up so as not to soil her cloth. Ladies should put on "ladies' towel" after taking Wudhuu.". This must be done at each time before solat or any other " 'Ibadah"/religious practises.

  (b) "Istanjaa or Istinjaa"/cleaning defilement with other than water: (to be continued).
Until we meet again, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
