A woman's maniy is thin and yellowish. It smells like a man's maniy, and its exit is accompanied by pleasure and a subsequent decrease in desire. If you are confused about a yellowish spot and cannot distinguish whether it is maniy or madhiy, then, according to the Shafi'is, you have the choice to consider it maniy and perform , or madhiy, in which case ghusl is not obligatory.
