Is what is discharged after abandoning sexual desire semen (maniy), prostatic fluid (madhiy), or normal discharge, and does ghusl (ritual bath) become obligatory because of it?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
What is typically discharged during minor arousal is madhy, a thin, sticky, whitish fluid that exits upon desire but is not followed by detumescence. It is impure (najis), nullifies ablution (wudu), and requires washing whatever it touches on clothing or body, but it does not necessitate a full ritual bath (). Indulging in such fantasies can turn into an addiction, and a Muslim woman should utilize her time in what benefits her in her religious and worldly affairs.
