Does madhiy require ghusl?

No. Madhiy does not require ghusl. A man washes his penis and testicles; a woman washes its exit and whatever it touched on the exterior of her body; the affected area of the garment is purified; then the person performs wudu.

Does wadi require ghusl?

No. Wadi has the same ruling as urine. Its exit and whatever it touched on the body or garment are washed, then wudu is performed.

Must the entire garment be changed because of madhiy or wadi?

The entire garment does not have to be changed. For madhiy, it is sufficient to sprinkle the affected area with enough water to cover it. For wadi, the affected area is washed because it has the same ruling as urine.

Must clothing be changed because of maniy?

It does not have to be changed. The stronger view is that maniy is pure, so prayer is not invalid merely because its trace remains on the garment. It is best, however, to remove the trace: wash it while wet, and scrape or wash it when dry.

Is ghusl required after a sexual dream when no fluid is found?

No. Whoever remembers a sexual dream but finds no fluid does not have to perform ghusl. Whoever finds maniy after sleep must perform ghusl even if no dream is remembered.

What should someone do after finding moisture upon waking?

If its signs establish that it is maniy, ghusl is required. If it is identified as madhiy or wadi, wash the affected area and perform wudu. If the moisture is ordinary discharge, sweat, or something else, it follows its own ruling. Janabah is not established through a remote possibility or waswas.

What if a fluid resembling maniy emerges because of illness or injury?

If it is discharged while awake because of illness or injury, without pleasure, forceful discharge, or subsequent relaxation, the stronger view is that ghusl is not required, though its trace is washed and wudu is performed. Finding it after sleep requires ghusl when it is verified to be maniy, even if the sleeper remembers no dream.

Must ghusl be repeated if a remainder of maniy emerges afterward?

If a remainder of maniy emerges after ghusl without renewed desire, the stronger view is that ghusl does not have to be repeated; the area is washed and wudu is performed. If new maniy is discharged with new pleasure, ghusl is required again.

What is the ruling if a husband’s maniy emerges from a woman after ghusl?

Likewise, if some of her husband’s maniy emerges from a woman after she has performed ghusl, she does not repeat ghusl merely because it emerged. She washes the exterior and performs wudu because this is not new maniy discharged from her with desire.

Does pleasure alone require ghusl?

The mere experience of pleasure or reaching climax does not require ghusl unless maniy is discharged, except when intercourse occurs; intercourse requires ghusl even without ejaculation. There is no need to inspect afterward. The ruling is based upon what is apparent and certain.

Does intercourse without ejaculation require ghusl?

Yes. Penetration requires ghusl for both spouses even without ejaculation because intercourse is an independent cause that requires ghusl.

What is the evidence that intercourse requires ghusl without ejaculation?

Does a small amount of madhiy invalidate wudu?

Yes. A small or large amount of madhiy invalidates wudu when its discharge is certain. Mere doubt or a sensation without certainty is ignored.

What should someone do if madhiy emerges during prayer?

If a person praying is certain that madhiy emerged, purification has ended. The person stops the prayer, washes the affected area, purifies the garment where necessary, performs wudu, and repeats the prayer. If there is only doubt, the prayer is not interrupted.

What if madhiy is found after prayer?

If the person is certain it emerged before or during the prayer, the affected area is washed, wudu is performed, and that prayer is repeated. If there is doubt whether it emerged before or after the prayer, the prayer is not repeated because prayer is not invalidated by doubt.

What if maniy is found after prayer or after several prayers?

If it is verified to be maniy, ghusl is required for future prayers. If the person is certain that it emerged before a particular prayer, all prayers performed after its discharge without ghusl are repeated. If the time of discharge is unknown or there is uncertainty between several periods of sleep, scholarly detail applies to identifying which prayers must be repeated. A trustworthy scholar should be asked about the specific case, and the person should not repeatedly inspect or base rulings on mere possibilities and waswas.

Must water be inserted into the urinary passage or vagina?

No. It is required to wash the exterior of the exit and whatever the fluid touched. Water should not be inserted into the passage, nor should a person strain to squeeze out what may remain inside, because this opens the door to waswas and may cause harm.

Does touching these fluids invalidate wudu?

Merely touching these fluids does not invalidate wudu, but whatever must be washed from the hand or body should be washed. Directly touching the private part without a barrier has a separate ruling explained in Nullifiers of Wudu.

Does contact with another person’s maniy require ghusl?

A person upon whose body another person’s maniy falls does not have to perform ghusl merely because of contact with it; its trace is removed. Ghusl is connected to the state of janabah, not merely to touching maniy.

Does a sensation of fluid moving internally invalidate wudu?

No. Wudu is not invalidated until the fluid is known to have emerged to the exterior of its exit. A mere sensation of movement inside establishes no ruling, and inspection to verify it is not prescribed.

Is wudu sufficient when ghusl is required?

Wudu alone is not sufficient when a cause requiring ghusl is established; ghusl from janabah is required. For madhiy and wadi, washing the affected area, purifying the garment, and performing wudu are sufficient.
