The answer

The fatwa calls for repentance to Allah, for being mindful of His observation and greatness, and for adhering to His command to lower the gaze and guard one's chastity. It clarifies that a woman's ghusl (ritual bath) is obligatory when she is certain that semen, which necessitates ghusl, has been discharged. It describes semen (mani) and pre-seminal fluid (madhi) and their related rulings. It also explains that if janabah (ritual impurity requiring ghusl) occurs during menstruation, and the woman performs ghusl with the intention for both menstruation and janabah, or with the intention for menstruation only, then both impurities are lifted, unless the woman intends for the janabah not to be lifted.
