What is the ruling regarding the fluid that exits a woman when her husband caresses her, and is ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory thereafter, knowing that it often exits many times a day?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The viscous fluid that often comes out at the beginning of arousal is pre-seminal fluid (), which is impure (najis) and nullifies ablution (wudu) but does not necessitate a full bath (). If it is discharged by a woman, she must perform ' (washing the private parts) with water. If it is discharged by a man, he must wash the entire penis.
