When is it obligatory to inspect for semen upon waking up, especially if there are continuous discharges and one knows with certainty that there are discharges after waking up?
The discharge that exits a woman is of two types: discharge from the urinary meatus, which is ritually impure (najis), and vaginal discharge from the uterus, which is ritually pure (tahir). Both types invalidate ablution (wudu') but do not necessitate a ritual bath (). As for semen (maniy), it is characterized by its yellow color and a smell resembling palm spathe or dough. Its emission is accompanied by pleasure and desire, followed by a weakening (of desire). It is not rubbed off due to its thinness. If semen is emitted during sleep or wakefulness due to desire, it necessitates a ritual bath (ghusl). If you are uncertain about the type of discharge, you may consider it either semen or regular discharge.
