What is prescribed for purifying madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) is to wash the penis and testicles, based on the of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). This was made obligatory by the Hanbalis and Ibn Hazm, contrary to the majority of scholars. Although it is obligatory according to the Hanbalis, they explicitly stated that if one intentionally omits it, it does not affect his wudu (ablution) or salat (prayer). Thus, the prayer is valid even if one intentionally omits washing the penis and testicles.
