Ruling of wudhu due to vaginal discharge
Q:
1. May I know all the different types of vaginal discharges and their wudhu/ghusul/najasah ruling according to shariah? Cervical mucus is a normal part of every girl’s monthly cycle and most days in the month she will normally have cervical mucus. This cervical mucus is of varying thickness, opaqueness and stretchability depending on how close or far she is from ovulation. Is this normal cervical mucus discharge what is called “mazi”?
2. I would like to know if wudhu remains or not if the cervical mucus does not exit the private part — it stays within the lips and you can also feel that there is some slippery/wet cervical mucus INSIDE the lips, but it has not exited the lips yet.
3. I was told that wudhu does not break if the fluid does not exit the lips. However, I was reading behishti zewar (وضوء توڑنے والی چیزوں کا بیان) and here is what it says:
مسئلہ ۳۶: پیشاب یا مذی کا قطرہ سوراخ سے باہر نکل آیا لیکن ابھی اس کھال کے اندر ہے جو اوپر ہوتی ہے تب بھی وضوء ٹوٹ گیا۔
What does this mean? I am still confused about if mazi is the normal cervical fluid.
4. I do not know what a wet dream is.
A:
1. The colourless mucus that comes without any feelings is not mazi. However, it will invalidate the wudhu.
2. No.
3. This refers generally to a person who has not circumsized. So the urine has exited the urinary tract, but it is trapped in the foreskin. So this also invalidates the wudhu.
4. If there is an ejaculation in the state of sleep and you are sure that it is mani or unclear whether it is mani or mazi (precoital fluid) then this is a wet dream which requires a ghusl.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
