What is the difference between maniyy, madhiy, and wadiy for a woman? Does the ruling on ghusl differ for a married woman compared to an unmarried one? How can a virgin girl ascertain the occurrence of lust that necessitates ghusl? What is the ruling on performing wudu' for every prayer when one feels wet due to waswas (obsessive whispering)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman's maniy is thin and yellowish, smelling like the spathe of a female date palm, and it exits with great pleasure, necessitating ghusl. As for madhiy and wadiy, they only necessitate wudu'. The nullifiers of wudu' include touching the front or back private parts, passing wind, defecating, urinating, and loss of consciousness. Prayers performed without wudu' must be made up.
