Must one make up for days in which the emission of mani or madhi is suspected due to reading fatwas about what invalidates the fast, coupled with the inability to distinguish between natural secretions and mani?

You may be afflicted with some form of waswasah (obsessive whispering/doubts), so you must ignore it. The difference between madhi (pre-seminal fluid) and mani (semen) and other discharges is clear. Whatever discharge emerges from you in this situation does not invalidate the fast, and your fast is valid; you are not required to make it up. And whoever doubts whether what emerged from him is mani or madhi may choose [between the two rulings].
