Maniy (sperm/vaginal secretions that are released on orgasm)
Wady (a thick white secretion discharged after urination)
Madhy (thin white viscid fluid secreted due to erotic thoughts or desire)
The fifth question of Fatwa no. 8540
Q: What are the Wady and Madhy discharges? How can a person purify himself from them? Do they occur during sleep?
A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions.
The Wady is mostly discharged after urination. It is a white thick fluid that resembles the Maniy (spermatic fluid) in thickness, but differs from it in turbidity, and it is odorless.
Madhy is a white, tenuous, viscous fluid that is discharged when engaging in foreplay, thinking of or desiring intercourse, or because of a look and the like, at the abatement of desire. A person may not feel the discharge come out, but it is discharged at the onset of sexual desire. It is experienced by both men and women.
Both fluids (Madhy and Wady) are Najis (impure) and invalidate Wudu’ (ablution). Therefore, when such secretions are discharged, the soiled parts (of body and clothes) must be purified with water and the person must perform Wudu’. Discharge of Madhy also necessitates washing the whole penis and testicles with water.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

The second question of Fatwa no. 4262
Q: What is the difference between Maniy and Madhy? Which of them necessitates taking Ghusl (ritual bath)?
A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions.
Firstly, the difference between Maniy (sperm/vaginal secretions) and Madhy (thin white viscid fluid secreted when having sexual thoughts or desire) is that Maniy in the case of men is a thick white fluid, and in the case of women it is thin and yellow. Madhy, on the other hand, is a thin, white, sticky fluid that is emitted when engaging in foreplay, thinking of or desiring intercourse, or because of a look and the like. Madhy is emitted by men and women alike.
Secondly, Maniy necessitates Ghusl, while Madhy necessitates washing the penis and testicles, performing Wudu’ (ablution) like that performed for Salah (prayer), in addition to washing it off from the body and clothes.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
