First & Second: Effusion of urine or what falls under its category, such as the suspected wetness coming out before istibrã’ or excretion of feces from the natural or unnatural passage, regardless whether the natural passage is blocked or not, and whether its amount is large or small, and whether it is accompanied, for example, by worms or lumps.
Third : Passing out of wind from anus, if it comes out of the stomach or bowels, whether it is accompanied with sound and bad odor or not.
