Mani, mazi, and wadi.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

 I am a person who his easily sexually aroused and have erections very often. Many times when I have erections after sometime (when the penis is erect or relaxing after an erection) a drop or two of fluid easies out. This fluid is sticky and Is clear, sometimes a cloudy colour fluid comes out but mostly is clear I do not have an orgasm or ejaculate with force I just have an erection. I need to know if ghusl is fard on me every time I experience this? I have erections like this many times, some times I have it while even praying salah

2. Recently for some time when I go to the toilet and I clear the urine passage I sometime find a clear sticky substance. this substance comes out most of the time after I urinate. Also sometimes I can feel another slippery substance coming out before I urinate. Can you please tell me what these substance are and wether ghusl becomes fardh or not. Jazakallah for your time.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Generally there are three types of emissions from the private parts besides urine:

  • Mani (semen)- This is a thick white liquid. After the discharge of mani, the erection subsides. 
  • Mazi (preseminal fluid)- This is a thin, clear liquid which is released during sexual arousal without gushing. This does not diminish the arousal but rather increases it. One may not even be aware of its release.
  • Wadi- This is a thick, murky, white liquid that resembles mani (semen) in thickness. It has no smell and comes out after urination. Sometimes, it may even come out before urination. Usually, not much more than a drop or two of wadi comes out.[1]

The emission of mazi and wadi does not necessitate ghusl, they merely break ones wudu. The emission of mani necessitates ghusl if it takes place due to sexual activity. Otherwise, if mani is discharged due to heavy lifting, sickness etc. ghusl will not become compulsory, and will only necessitate wudu.[2]

و ) منها: ( ودي ) وهو ماء أبيض كدر ثخين يشبه المني في الثخانة ويخالفه في الكدرة ولا رائحة له ويخرج عقب البول اذا كانت الطبيعة مستمسكة وعند حمل شئ ثقيل وقد يسبق البول ويخرج قطرة أو قطرتين أو نحوهما و أجمع العلماء على أنه لا يجب الغسل بخروج المذي والودي 

 ( مراقي الفلاح: ص 95 )

 (يفترض الغسل بواحد ) يحصل للإنسان ( من سبعة أشياء ) أولها ( خروج المني ) وهو ماء أبيض ثخين ينكسر الذكر بخروجه يشبه رائحة الطلع ومني المرأة رقيق أصفر ( إلى ظاهر الجسد ) لأنه ما لم يظهر لا حكم له ( إذا انفصل عن مقره ) وهو الصلب ( بشهوة ) الخ

( مراقي الفلاح: ص 100 )

 (فصل : عشرة أشياء لا يغتسل منها: مذي ) بفتح الميم وسكون الدال المعجمة وكسرها وهو ماء أبيض رقيق يخرج عند شهوة لا بشهوة ولا دفق ولا يعقبه فتور وربما لا يحس بخروجه وهو أغلب في النساء من الرجال ويسمى في جانب النساء قذى بفتح القاف والدال المعجمة ( و ) منها ( ودي ) بإسكان الدال المهملة وتخفيف الياء وهو ماء أبيض كدر ثخين لا رائحة له يعقب البول وقد يسبقه أجمع العلماء على أنه لا يجب الغسل بخروج المذي والودي
