Does a woman need to perform ghusl if she feels pressure and pain in the uterine area accompanied by a discharge, if she suspects the presence of jinn possession, and does not experience the known pleasure that necessitates ghusl?
We advise the sister to seek refuge in Allah Almighty through supplication, to consistently recite remembrances (dhikr) and legal protective invocations, and to perform legal ruqyah. It must be noted that the possession of humans by jinn is established, but exaggerating by attributing every illness or problem to jinn is blameworthy, for not everything that afflicts a person is caused by jinn.
As for ghusl (ritual bathing), it is only obligatory if semen is ejaculated with desire, followed by a weakening of the body. Semen is a viscous white fluid. As for madhy (pre-seminal fluid), it does not necessitate ghusl; it is a thin white fluid that exits upon desire without ejaculation or weakening. Semen ejaculated with desire necessitates ghusl by scholarly consensus. However, if it exits without desire, it does not necessitate ghusl according to the majority of scholars, whereas the Shafi'is made it obligatory in all cases. If semen exits from a sleeping person, ghusl is obligatory in all cases.
