The question

Do clothes become contaminated with madhiy if water touches them when sprinkling the affected part of the outer garment? And does madhiy dry like water, leaving no visible trace, or is it like vaginal discharge, remaining visible? And is any moisture in the vaginal area, without clear discharge, considered discharge or merely sweat?

The answer

Scholars have differed regarding what purifies madhi (pre-seminal fluid). Imam Ahmad held that sprinkling (nadh) is sufficient to purify it, and clothing does not become impure by the wetness from sprinkling. However, the majority of jurists believe it is obligatory to wash it, just like urine. Based on the view of the majority, sprinkling water on madhi does not purify it but rather increases the impurity. It is safer to wash madhi in the future. As for what has passed, it is permissible to adopt the view of sprinkling, especially for someone prone to obsessive doubts (waswasa), because adopting the lighter and more lenient opinion is more appropriate for such a person. As for doubt concerning the emission of madhi, it is not considered unless its emission is confirmed and its trace is seen. The presence of wetness inside the vagina is natural and does not nullify wudu unless it exits.
