Question:
Recently I have been getting a clear sticky discharge from my penis and it comes out in drops. Does this make my clothes impure and does it require ghusal or wudu? What should I do and how should I pray if I am not home with access to new clean clothes and to do istinja?
Answer:
A clear sticky discharge is called madhi. It does not necessitate ghusl, however it will break wudhu.
If clothes are soiled with madhi which is equal or less than the hollow of your palm (which has approximately a diameter of 2.75cm) then salaah in such clothes will be valid but makrooh tanzihi (undesirable).
If it is more than the hollow of your palm, then to read salaah with such clothes will be makrooh tahreemi (reprehensible). [1]
The soiled portion must be washed three times before it becomes pure.
It is recommended that you keep some tissue in your underpants to absorb any emission of madhi so they do not become soiled.
Only Allah Ta’ala knows best
