The question

How do I distinguish between madhy (pre-seminal fluid) in terms of consistency, color, and odor? Does it necessitate repeating wudu after every prayer? And what is the ruling on a towel that I used to dry madhy touching my body?

The answer

"Madhiy" is a thin, sticky, white fluid that is discharged upon arousal, but not with lust or gushing, and one may not even feel its exit. It is more common in women than in men. One should not interrupt prayer, ablution, or fasting merely based on the suspicion of madhiy discharge; rather, it is necessary to be certain of its exit, for certainty is not removed by doubt. If the discharge of madhiy is confirmed, it must be washed without exaggeration or succumbing to obsessive thoughts. After its cessation, the area becomes pure, and the garment used for drying, or the body and clothes after washing, do not become impure.
