Is ghusl required after finding white madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) following a wet dream, knowing that a woman's maniy (vaginal discharge/semen) is yellow?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman experiences a wet dream and sees thin, yellowish fluid, she must perform (ritual purification bath). However, if she sees nothing or finds only (pre-emenant fluid), ghusl is not obligatory upon her. The woman's seminal fluid has other characteristics, such as pleasure and the emission of desire following its discharge, and its smell is like that of a man's semen.
Therefore, if the seminal fluid is distinguished by color or smell, ghusl becomes obligatory. If the smell is not distinguishable, but she recalls having a wet dream, then it is more cautious to perform ghusl.
