Do a woman's natural discharges break wudu'?
Short answer
According to the Shaykh, discharges that come out of the private part break wudu', and if they are continuous they take the ruling of a person with a continuous impurity, who performs wudu' for the time of each prayer.
Evidence and explanation
The Shaykh built the answer on the rule of what comes out of the two passages, and mentioned the ruling of continuity by analogy with the woman with istihadah and the person with urinary incontinence.

- From the text of the answer
«الإفرازات التي تخرج من المرأة حكمها حكم بقية ما يخرج من السَّبيلين، والقاعدة عند أهل العلم: أنَّ ما خرج من السَّبيلين من دبرٍ أو قُبُلٍ من أشياء ينقض الوضوء: البول، والغائط، والمذي، والودي، كل ذلك ينقض الوضوء، وهكذا الدم، مثل: دم الاستحاضة، وهكذا المياه التي تخرج من فرجها، كل هذا يُسمَّى: ناقضًا من نواقض الوضوء.»
English translation (unreviewed): The discharges that come out of a woman have the ruling of the rest of what comes out of the two passages. The rule among the scholars is that what comes out of the two passages, rear or front, of things that break wudu': urine, stool, madhi and wadi — all of that breaks wudu'; and likewise blood, such as istihadah blood, and likewise the fluids that come out of her private part. All of this is called one of the things that invalidate wudu'.
