What is the nature of the white fluid that is discharged from an unmarried girl, and its odor changes (like the odor of dough, or eggs, or garlic, or urine), and it is discharged in abundance even without external stimulation, and sexual desire does not subside with its exit? Is it manī or madhī?

The nature of a discharge, whether it is manī (seminal fluid) or something else, can be determined by its characteristics. If its odor is like that of dough or egg, and it is discharged due to excitement, then it is manī. However, if its odor is like that of urine or garlic, and it is not followed by a weakening (of the body), then it is not manī. If what is discharged is manī and results from an act that arouses desire, its emission invalidates the fast. As for what is discharged without the characteristics of manī, it does not invalidate the fast, even if it is madhī (pre-seminal fluid).

If the discharge does not leave you throughout the day and you do not find enough time for purification and prayer, then you take the ruling of one afflicted with incontinence (sahib al-salas).
