What is the Ruling on this Discharge?

Question :

Sometimes when I caress my wife, I feel as if something has been discharged from me... and when I check my clothes, I find that it is a colorless liquid. Does this make it necessary for me to take a shower and make complete ablution?

Answer:

If this is sperm, you must make Ghusl and sperm is well known, it is emitted forcefully due to sexual arousal. But if it is not sperm, it could be Madhi, which is discharged without one being aware of it, and it usually comes out during sexual arousal, if a person becomes aroused, and then the arousal decreases. It does not necessitate Ghusl; it only requires washing the penis and testicles and Wudhu'. If you are unsure whether it is Madhi or sperm, then the basic principle is that Ghusl is not required, and you should assume that it is Madhi. Then wash your penis and testicles and the stains on your clothes, then make Wudhu' for prayer.
