Is the thin, yellowish fluid that comes out of a woman, unaccompanied by bodily fatigue, considered maniyy thereby necessitating ghusl, or is it vaginal discharge?

The woman's maniy (seminal fluid) is yellowish and thin. Its smell is distinguished by the smell of a man's maniy, and its discharge is accompanied by pleasure and followed by a subsiding of desire. If these two characteristics are not present, then what is discharged is not maniy, but rather one of the vaginal fluids. As for what is seen after waking up, if its description is that of maniy, then (ritual bath) is obligatory. If you are in doubt about it, you may choose between what you are in doubt about.
