Is it necessary to wash the penis and cleanse it of madhy (pre-seminal fluid) after foreplay and fondling, and before penetration?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no text stating the obligation to wash the private parts for someone who fondled his wife and emitted madhiy (pre-seminal fluid). Rather, a text was transmitted regarding washing madhiy if it gets on clothes or the body. The Prophet used to wash his private parts before performing the full (ritual bath) after intercourse.
