What is the ruling regarding the fluid that is discharged after an engagement meeting, and does it necessitate Ghusl, or is it sufficient to perform a partial washing and ablution?
If the exiting fluid possesses the characteristics of manī (seminal fluid), then it necessitates (ritual bathing) and is pure in itself, according to the more preponderant opinion. There is no obligation to wash the clothes it touches, even though it is more cautious to wash what it has touched. If it is madhī (pre-seminal fluid), then it invalidates ablution and is impure. If the meeting with the suitor took place after the legal marriage contract (aqd), then it is permissible. However, if the contract has not been concluded, it is not permissible, because he is a stranger to her, and it is not permissible for him to be alone with her or touch her.
