Must a girl afflicted with Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), who experiences sudden and recurrent orgasms, perform ghusl before every prayer?
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) is a spontaneous, continuous, and unwanted sexual arousal that typically does not subside with intercourse. It affects women and hinders their lives. (ritual bath) is not required merely by arousal, but by the emission of maniy (seminal fluid) with pleasure. As for madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), it necessitates wudu' (ablution) and is impure. Maniy necessitates ghusl and has distinct characteristics. If the emission of madhiy is continuous, she performs wudu' and prays, and its emission does not harm her. There is no sin upon the girl as long as the matter is beyond her control. And if maniy is emitted with desire and this recurs, and ghusl becomes difficult, she is permitted to combine prayers.
