Can pre-seminal fluid be emitted without an erection?
The penis might not become erect upon seeing something that arouses desire, yet prostatic fluid () is discharged, or it might become erect but no madhy is discharged; people differ in this regard. The fundamental principle is that this does not occur unless a person finds wetness on the body or clothes. Therefore, one should not invite obsessive doubts by entertaining numerous baseless illusions and suspicions. The best remedy for such obsessive doubts is to ignore them and not dwell on them until one is certain that something has been discharged. At that point, it is obligatory to wash the penis and whatever the madhy has touched, and to perform ablution, because madhy is impure by consensus.
