Ablution (Wudu'): Do not be bothered by whisperings (waswas) concerning it. Washing the limbs once is sufficient, and three times is a .
Discharges: They do not necessitate (ritual bath) unless you are absolutely certain that it is semen. If you are unsure whether the discharge is semen or something else, you may choose and assign it the ruling you prefer. These discharges may be ordinary wetness that does not necessitate (washing the private parts), even if they invalidate wudu'.
