Answer:
Release of madhi
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:
One’s state of purification depends on what exactly is
released from their private parts in Shariah:
If only ‘Wadi’ or ‘Madhi’ is released, one does not require a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify himself; he must wash his private parts and the part of his clothes or body where the ‘wadi’ or ‘madhi’ has touched, do the ‘wudu’, and he would be eligible to make himself 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."'
Thus brother it needs to be determined whether what was
discharged by the brother was ‘mani’ (sperm or full ejaculation) or merely ‘madhi’.
If only ‘madhi’ was discharged, and the brother changed
the clothes, or washed the parts of the body and the clothes where the ‘madhi’
had touched, made the wudu, and performed the prayers….the prayers of the
person will be deemed valid.
But if the brother is certain that he had a full sexual
discharge or ‘mani’, it would be obligatory for him to perform the ‘ghusl’ or
full bath to purify himself before he makes himself available for prayer.
But if ‘mani’ (sperm) was released and the brother offered
his prayer without performing the ‘ghusl’, that prayer will be considered
invalid…..and the brother would be required to repeat that prayer again after
he has purified himself from his state of ceremonial impurity.
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,
Burhan
