However, the Malikis hold that an offering is obligatory for whoever emits madhy, whether by thought or otherwise. It is necessary to ascertain whether the discharge is madhy or maniy (seminal fluid). Madhy is impure and invalidates wudu (ablution), and it necessitates washing whatever it soiled of clothes and body. As for maniy, it necessitates (ritual bath) from (major ritual impurity).
