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:
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,
