Do clear, whitish discharges—which are released without arousal—count as madhiy, given that they are frequent, and are they considered madhiy incontinence?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

So long as these secretions are discharged without desire, they are not madhy (prostatic/vaginal fluid discharged due to arousal), but rather they are among the normal secretions known as vaginal moisture (rutubat al-farj). One should not give in to obsessive doubts. If you are unsure about the discharge, you have a choice. If you suffer from incontinence of vaginal moisture, you should perform ablution after the time for each prayer begins.
