Is deviation from what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) specified in the Hadith ("Man's fluid is thick and white, and woman's fluid is thin and yellow. Whichever precedes, resemblance will be determined by it") an indication of some flaw?

The answer

Man's semen is typically white and thick, expelled with pleasure and gushing, followed by a subsiding of desire. Its smell resembles that of a palm spathe. Its characteristics may change due to illness or frequent intercourse. As for woman's fluid, it is yellowish and thin, though it may whiten due to the intensity of her climax. Its smell resembles that of man's semen, and she derives pleasure from its discharge, followed by a subsiding of her desire. Ghusl (ritual bath) is obligatory upon the emission of semen, regardless of its characteristics.
