The answer

The clear, viscous fluid that is discharged when thinking about or being aroused by lust is called madhy (pre-seminal fluid). It is impure (najis) and nullifies ablution (wudu'). It is obligatory to wash the penis and any clothes that it has touched. However, it does not necessitate the major ritual bath (ghusl) and, according to the more correct opinion, it does not invalidate fasting even if discharged through mere looking.
