What is the meaning of the desire that causes pre-seminal fluid (madhy) to be discharged, and is unwanted sexual thought that has been dismissed considered thinking about sexual intercourse, and how does one differentiate between pre-seminal fluid and vaginal discharge if both are clear secretions, and must prayer be repeated if secretions (pre-seminal fluid or discharge) are found after prayer and it is not known when they were discharged, and is it necessary to perform istinja’ (washing with water), wudu’ (ablution), and prayer merely upon thinking of something that leads to the discharge of pre-seminal fluid, even if nothing is felt or seen, and is what is found in the underwear the determining factor or merely the thought, and must pre-seminal fluid be discharged every time one thinks, and is it necessary to inspect after thinking, or does one perform wudu’ and pray directly if nothing is felt?

The desire that causes madhy (pre-seminal fluid) to be discharged is the thought of the pleasure of sexual intercourse or similar acts. Madhy is discharged when the desire subsides, without actual desire at that moment. A fleeting thought usually does not result in the discharge of madhy. There is no need to investigate and search whether madhy was discharged or not, as the default is that it was not discharged. If you doubt its discharge, ignore the doubt. If you see something and are unsure whether it is madhy or vaginal discharge, you have the choice to assign it the ruling you wish. If you see madhy or discharge after prayer, and it is possible that it was discharged after the prayer, you are not required to repeat the prayer. Mere thought or the arousal of desire, without the certainty of anything being discharged, does not necessitate istinja (cleaning oneself) or wudu (ablution). It is obligatory to resist whisperings (waswas) and not to succumb to them.
