How can a woman differentiate between continuous vaginal discharge (yellow and white) and madhiy and maniy, especially since this discharge does not cease?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The distinction between secretions is made by knowing the characteristic of each. If there is no sign indicating that it is semen (mani) or pre-seminal fluid (madhi), then the default is that it is normal vaginal discharge. One can refer to the fatwas related to how to differentiate between semen, pre-seminal fluid, and vaginal discharge, and what is required of a woman when they exit, or if she suffers from incontinence of one of them.
