Is a woman's maniyy viscous like al-wadyy and al-madhyy? What is its color? And how can it be distinguished from normal vaginal discharge, and the yellowish discharge (as-sufrah) and wetness (ar-rutubah) that accompany her throughout the month? And is what she feels—namely, arousal of desire and seeing someone having intercourse with her while awake, in addition to stiff limbs and a feeling of pleasure—from masturbation or from Satan? And does what she saw in a dream—intercourse and feeling something in her vagina—constitute a wet dream (ihtilam) that necessitates ghusl, even though she is unmarried and did not see a significant discharge upon waking?

Ghusl (ritual bath) is not obligatory unless there is certain emission of mani (seminal fluid). In cases of doubt, the ruling is left to the woman's discretion. Fantasies and imaginations do not constitute masturbation unless they involve an action on her part. One should distance themselves from such thoughts to avoid evil and waswas (whispers/temptations from Shaytan).
