Is a person sinful if he delays Ghusl or does not pray with the congregation for fear of Madhy discharge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the discharge of prostatic fluid (madhiy) prevents one from congregational prayer, then the Muslim is excused and must wait for the madhiy to cease, even if he misses the congregational prayer, as long as he does not fear the expiration of the prayer's time. The discharge of madhiy after performing (ritual bath) necessitates washing the male organ only and invalidates ablution (wudu).
