Is it obligatory to repeat the prayer when a viscous fluid (thought to be madhy) is discharged after performing ablution and prayer, knowing that it may also be discharged upon looking at women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever finds pre-seminal fluid () after prayer and was unaware of its emission before it, their prayer is valid, and they do not need to repeat it. This is because the default is the validity of purification and prayer, and this is not nullified by doubt. However, if one knows or strongly believes that it was emitted during the prayer, they must wash the madhy from their body and clothes, perform ablution, and repeat the prayer, because it is impure and nullifies ablution. We advise fearing Allah and lowering one's gaze from forbidden things.
