Wadi invalidates wudu.

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalamualaikum...My question to you is-every girl experiences a thick white fluid coming out of her vagina at any time of the day.please note that fluid is neither madhi nor mani and not wadhi.it is something natural and comes out automatically without any sexual thoughts or so.girls do not feel it coming out and no wetness is felt.now what i what to know is does this invalidate the wudu?and does this make our clothes impure?please reply as soon as possible.thank you.

Answer:

 

Wadi invalidates wudu

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Other than urine, there are basically three types of discharges that are released from one’s private organs:

  1. Wadi (a thick white secretion)
  2. Madhi (a sort of slow release of lubricant just prior to a full sexual discharge)
  3. Mani (a full sexual discharge)

 

One’s state of purification depends on what exactly is released from their private parts in Shariah, regardless of whether male or female.

 

If only ‘Wadi’ or ‘Madhi’ is released, one does not require a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify oneself; one must wash their private parts and the part of their clothes or body where the ‘wadi’ or ‘madhi’ has touched, do the ‘wudu’, and one would be eligible to make themselves available for prayer.

 

But when the ‘Mani’ or a full sexual discharge is released, it would become obligatory for the person to perform a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify oneself before making oneself available for prayer.

 

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 1.10

Wadi is a thick white secretion discharged (by some people) after urination. It is considered impure.  Aishah said, " Wadi comes out after urination. The person should wash the private parts and perform ablution.  It is not necessary to perform ghusl. This is related by Ibn al-Mundhir.  Ibn 'Abbas related that "mani” (ejaculation or full sexual discharge) requires ghusl.  As for “madhi” (prostatic fluid or initial sexual discharge) and ‘wadi’ they require a complete purification."  This is related by al-Athram.  Al-Baihaqi has it with the wording, "Concerning ‘madhi’ and ‘wadi’, he said, 'Wash your sexual organs and perform the same type of ablution as you perform for prayer."'

 

Respected sister, from the description which you have provided it seems most probable that the secretion is ‘wadi’.  One does not require a ‘ghusl’ to purify oneself from ‘wadi’, but rather washing the parts of the body or clothes where it might have touched and the performance of wudu would more than suffice to make oneself available for prayer.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
