Only the place soiled by madhy (pre-seminal fluid) must be washed. Pouring water over it is sufficient if the impurity is removed, and the water that flows off is pure unless its color, smell, or taste has changed. It is obligatory to wash it only once if purification is achieved. Whoever suffers from constant discharge of madhy should take precautions (e.g., wear a pad), perform ablution, and pray until the time for that prayer ends. If the drops are intermittent, one must wait until they stop, then purify oneself and perform ablution. It is obligatory to resist obsessive thoughts (waswas).
