Distinguishing between discharge and orgasm

8-6-2003 | IslamWeb

Question:

My husband is very loving nature during whole day, when he touches me I suddenly feel conscious than I have white discharge too. How can I differentiate this discharge is of consciousness or from an orgasm. Do I have to take a bath, if the Wudu is null?

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. The white discharge that you asked about nullifies Wudu. So, you should make Wudu anytime this discharge comes out. It is called Madhi and it is like urine, impure and nullifies Wudu. As a result, when this discharge comes out, you should not pray before you make Wudu (ablution). But if what comes out is Mani (sperm) then you have to make Ghusl (ceremonial washing) before you pray. Mani can be identified by its colour, its odor, the feeling of ecstasy during its exit or the feeling of tiredness after its coming out. So, if you think that what came out is Madhi, just wash it and make Wudu, but if you think it is Mani you should make Ghusl (ceremonial washing). Allah knows best.
