The question

Is the slight stain that a woman sometimes finds after waking up from sleep due to desire, like that which occurs during intercourse, and which is white or yellow, with or without odor, considered madhy (pre-seminal fluid) or maniy (seminal fluid) necessitating ghusl (ritual bath)? And does the quantity of a woman's maniy approximate the quantity of a man's fluid, or is it measured by the drop? And does a woman feel the emission of her fluid?

The answer

The woman's maniy (seminal fluid) has been mentioned in previous fatwas, and it may be discharged in small or large quantities. If you are certain it is maniy, then (ritual bath) is obligatory. If you are certain it is madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), then ' (washing private parts) and wudu' (ablution) are obligatory. When in doubt between the two, ghusl is not obligatory unless you are certain it is maniy, and the relied-upon opinion is that one has the choice.
