The question

What is the solution to get rid of the obsessive whispers (waswas) about ritual purity (tahara) related to wetness and discharge, especially when feeling aroused without lust or passion, knowing that the discharge is continuous and there is a frequent need to check and perform ghusl?

The answer

A woman can distinguish between discharges: A woman's mani (seminal fluid) is thin and yellow, and may be white. Its smell is like that of palm spathes or dough, and if it dries, its smell is like that of eggs. Its emission is accompanied by pleasure and a subsiding of desire. As for madhy (pre-seminal fluid), it is a thin, white, sticky fluid that is emitted upon arousal without gushing and without any subsequent subsiding of desire. Vaginal discharges are pure, but they nullify wudu’.

Madhy is impure and necessitates washing clothes, the body, and the private parts. It nullifies wudu’ but does not necessitate ghusl (ritual bath). As for mani, it is pure according to the most preponderant opinion, and it is recommended to wash it off clothes. Its emission necessitates ghusl.
