What is the ruling on the circumambulation (tawaf) of one who doubts the emission of prostatic fluid (madhy) due to whispering (waswasah) during tawaf, despite her constant suffering from discharge and wetness, and does this affect the validity of the tawaf and sexual intercourse thereafter?

As long as the ablution precedes the circumambulation (Tawaf), the Tawaf is valid, and the continuous discharge does not affect it, for its ruling is the same as that of a person with urinary incontinence (Sahib al-Sils) or a woman with prolonged non-menstrual bleeding (Mustahadah). The doubt about the discharge being pre-seminal fluid (Madhi) is baseless; rather, it is from the whisperings (waswas) that must be ignored. Therefore, all the circumambulations are valid.
