Urethral Discharge and Bath

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: I have a question about urethral discharge. Sometimes, especially when I’m constipated and strain, a very small amount of urethral discharge occurs resembling semen. It looks identical to the discharge that occurs during intercourse. Do I have to perform obligatory ghusl?

A: The drops which come out at the time of urinating is Wadi and not sperm. Wadi breaks Wudhu and not Ghusl. Ghusl does not become compulsory after Wadi has been released. (Raddul Muhtaar V1 P471).
