Is the white discharge of a woman when she is not on her cycle considered an impurity?

Question

Is the white discharge of a woman when she is not on her cycle considered an impurity? Does she have to change her underwear every single time before Salah and also repeat wudu ? A Mufti says that certain forms of discharge are not impure and wudhu does not break. He explained three forms of cervical discharge. But I am confused.

Answer

With his uncalled for technical exposition of the 'three' types of cervical discharge, the mufti is childishly flaunting his academic 'expertise' to the ignorant laypeople. You are validly confused by his uncalled for exposition. Must a woman take a sample of her discharge to some laboratory to determine its category, then wait several days after paying a high fee, to decide whether she has to make wudhu and perform Salaat? All forms of cervical discharge break wudhu and should be considered naapaak (impure). The soiled parts of the body and garment should be washed.
