The question

Does the distinct odor found after a wet dream count as normal discharge that does not necessitate repeating prayers, or is it madhy (pre-ejaculatory fluid) which requires repeating them due to its impurity?

The answer

Doubt after completing an act of worship has no effect. It is not necessary to perform ' (ritual cleansing) from something one doubts whether it is madhy (pre-seminal fluid) or a vaginal discharge, because the default is that madhy has not been emitted. There is no harm in considering the discharge as a regular discharge and not madhy when in doubt. One must be cautious of obsessive whispering (waswasa).
