What is the ruling on the prayer and ablution of someone who suffers from a continuous discharge of prostatic fluid (madhi) or post-urinary fluid (wadi), and doubts his purity during or before the prayer, then discovers its discharge after the prayer? And is it obligatory for him to repeat the previous prayers in these cases, knowing the difficulty of verifying and differentiating between the types of secretions, and the fatigue that this causes?
If you doubt the emission of ** (pre-seminal fluid), *wudu* (ritual ablution) is not obligatory upon you. Rather, act upon the principle of certainty, which is that nothing has been emitted, even if you strongly suspect its emission.
However, if you find *madhy* on your clothes, attribute its emission to the closest time it is likely to have occurred, and then repeat the prayers from that time.
And if you doubt what has exited from you, whether it is *maniy* (seminal fluid) or *madhy*, the inquirer is given the option to choose, and he may apply the ruling of whichever he wishes.
And if these doubts are *waswasa* (obsessive whisperings), then turn away from them and do not give them any heed.
