Is the fluid that was discharged with lust considered semen that necessitates performing ghusl, given that it did not meet all the characteristics of semen (thin, yellowish, and odor of pollen), but the characteristics of lust and subsequent relaxation were present? Is it permissible to suffice with this characteristic to rule that it is semen? Can the intention for ghusl from menstruation be combined with the intention for ghusl from semen? Or is it madhy, which does not necessitate ghusl?

The pleasure experienced upon the emission of semen and the subsequent cooling of desire are sufficient indicators to determine it is semen, and the confluence of all three signs of semen is not a prerequisite. A woman can combine the intention for (ritual bath) for menstruation with that for (major ritual impurity).
