The question

Is the transparent, viscous fluid that came out when I touched my penis considered semen? Is its involuntary discharge considered masturbation for which one is held accountable? And does its transparent color indicate weakness or disease?

The answer

We advise you to fill your free time with what benefits you and to turn away from these matters. We have already explained the cure for the ailment of thinking about sex and how a young man can control his instincts. We previously cited words from Ibn Al-Qayyim about the importance of guarding thoughts and preserving them, and how to achieve that. This aforementioned fluid has the characteristics of manī (sperm/seminal fluid). If its emission is due to lust, then (ritual bath) is obligatory; otherwise, ghusl is not required. Regarding manī being transparent and its relation to weakness, you can consult doctors or the medical consultation section.
