The answer

The sacred texts confirm the existence of female semen (مني) and associate legal rulings with it. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that the woman's fluid is yellow and thin, while the man's fluid is white and thick, and resemblance occurs based on whichever fluid overtakes or precedes the other. Al-Nawawi mentioned that female semen is yellow and thin, and it may become white due to her strength. Its smell is recognized by the smell of male semen (resembling the smell of dough), and by the pleasure felt upon its emission and the subsequent relaxation of strength. As for the statements of doctors, there is no consensus on the non-existence of female semen; rather, there has been significant disagreement among doctors regarding it, and the sacred texts clearly affirm its existence.
