The question

What is the ruling according to the Maliki school on the emission of maniy (sperm) and madhiy (prostatic fluid/pre-ejaculate), whether unintentional (without looking or thinking, and with looking and thinking), or intentional (due to prolonged looking or thinking)? And what is the ruling according to the Maliki school on someone who experiences a wet dream during the daytime in Ramadan? And what should be done in cases of strong doubt and inability to differentiate between the two?

The answer

"If someone experiences madhy (pre-seminal fluid) during a day due to looking or thinking, and they do not persist in looking or thinking, then, according to the more preponderant opinion, nothing is required of them. However, if they intentionally look or engage in foreplay until madhy is discharged, then they must make up that day. If they intentionally look or do something else and semen is discharged, then they must make up that day and offer expiation if they persisted in it. As for intentionally causing seminal discharge with a single glance, there is no expiation for that. If semen is discharged without any cause, then nothing is required of them. Nocturnal emission (احتلام) during a Ramadan day does not invalidate the fast by scholarly consensus."
