What is the ruling on praying 'Isha' after seeing a fluid – I don't know if it's discharge or pre-seminal fluid (madhy) – and do I have to make up my Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers if I feel something – I expect it's discharge – during Tawaf?

If there is doubt about the discharge of secretions after or before the prayer, the basic principle is that they did not exit before the prayer, and re-performing the prayer is not obligatory. However, if one is certain that they exited before the prayer and no ablution was performed thereafter, then re-performing the prayer is obligatory. If there is doubt about the type of discharge (madhy or vaginal discharge), one can choose the ruling of either, and both invalidate ablution. The most authoritative opinion is that vaginal discharge is pure and does not necessitate ' (washing of private parts).
