#110: What does a Woman do if She Feels some Wetness Due to Speaking to the Opposite Sex?
“Assalamu alaykum warahmatullah. I have a fiancee and we do talk a lot with him on phone and chats too. My question is sometimes when talkin there is a feeling I get even though I have no imagination and stuffs but then I get this wetness and not to only him but most males I talk to, it is like that. So do I have to do ghusl for it or just wash up and carry on.”_
*ANSWER*
Wa alaykum salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh
May Allah make things easy for us all and save us from the many fitnahs we have in this era of ours, āmīn
If your fiancé is one that was acquired in the permissible way in the Sharī’a in such a way that he has the outright permission of your parents and is actually a disciplined step towards Nikāh, then you are in good shape and we encourage and advise you to hasten your Nikāh and to not waste time outside wedlock due to the danger that it portends.
But as regards emmisions from women by virtue of attractions, discussion with men and or imaginations, this is known as _Madhiy_ (Prostatic fluid) and it has the following attributes:
1. It is either whitish or has the colour of water
2. It comes out without the knowing of a woman that it is coming out
3. It neither gushes out nor is accompanied by any weakness.
For this fluid, the position of the Ulamā is that she washes herself and her clothes off it and suffices with that.
However, if the emmission was to be accompanied with the following attributes, then it is called _’Manīyy’_ and she must observe the Ghusl for it:
If it is yellow in colour, slippery in feel, accompanied by a gush, followed by a little relief in desires, and Carries a characteristic smell.
Same applies if some of these characteristics holds and others don’t.
It is very important for women to take extra note and attention to this matter.
The Ulamā have explained that women experience the emissions of _Madhiy_ with more frequency and volume than men. Some women are careless in this regards and will not take steps to wash themselves after such emissions. It is important to.
