Semen has well-known characteristics among jurists, including: emission with pleasure, followed by relaxation after its discharge; a smell resembling palm spathe or dough; and emission in spurts and gushes. Any one of these characteristics is sufficient to rule that it is semen, and their combination is not a prerequisite. As for pre-seminal fluid (madhy), it is a thin, white, sticky liquid that is discharged when desire is aroused, but without a forceful gush of pleasure or subsequent relaxation.
