What female discharges necessitate ghusl, and which ones are sufficient with wudu? And do clothes, places, and bodies that have been exposed to air and dried without the use of water become pure? And do pure clothes become impure if washed with clothes that have janabah?
The discharges that exit a woman do not necessitate ghusl (ritual bath) except for mani (seminal fluid), which is a thin, yellowish liquid that may turn white, has the scent of palm spathe, and is accompanied by pleasure and a subsiding of desire after its emission. Any other discharges only necessitate wudu' (ablution). These include: madhi (pre-seminal fluid), which is a thin, sticky, white liquid that exits upon arousal without gushing and is not followed by a subsiding of desire; it occurs in both men and women. And wadi (post-urination discharge), which is a thick, turbid white liquid that exits after urination or when carrying something heavy. And vaginal discharge, which is a pure secretion if it exits from the vagina and impure if it exits from the urinary opening. A place that has been definitively established as impure is purified by washing it with pure water until the water separates from the washed area, being pure and unchanged by the impurity. Mani is pure, and it is not obligatory to wash it off clothing; rather, it is only recommended. However, if clothing becomes impure with madhi or similar, it must be washed.
