Q: Yesterday, when I went to toilet, I found stains of pre-cum (mazi) [I have this problem that often it comes out unintentionally). The stain was very small, probably smaller than a drop of water. Nevertheless, as I was in a hurry to join the Asr Salah in jamah, I forgot to change my underwear and even forgot to wash the stain. In this condition I prayer the Asr, Mugrib, Esha and todays Fajr Salah before recalling the incident. Now my question is should I repeat the four Salah prayed in the above mentioned condition or was my Salah valid. Can you also advise me on what to do for the problem of the mazi coming out.
