Fathwa, - Different Types of Discharges

Question:
Different types of discharges
Answer:
Assalamu alaykum
In the name of Allah, the Inspirer of truth.
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars concerning
cervical mucus or vaginaldischarge. Since it comes from the cervix
which is thefarj dakhilin Arabic, According to Imam Abu Hanifa, it is
not impure and does not break the wudu' [if it is not discolored].
According to his two students, Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad, it is
impure and will break the wudu'. Hence, there is a difference of
opinion.
Some of the later scholars based the rulings on the first view and
others based it on the second view.
If a women experiences excessive discharge, she could avail of the
first opinion which does not consider the discharge tobe impure, hence
she need not renew her wudu' each time it happens. However, if the
discharge is not that frequent, it would be preferred to wash up and
renew the wudu' due to the other more precautionary opinion.
Likewise, if a women is able to conveniently wash up, then it would be
preferable to do so, but in situations where itis difficult then she
can avail herself of the more lenient opinion.
This is all concerning the discharge which is not discolored. As for
the discharge which is discolored due to thrush or any other ailment,
or the discharge is due to excitement, they it will be considered
impure by all and nullify the wudu'. Hence, washing and renewing the
wudu' would be necessary.
As for ejaculatory fluid, 'Allama Ibn 'Abidin describes it as follows:
"Ifit is watery yellow then itis the ejaculatory fluid of women" (Radd
al-Muhtar1:111). It has also been reported to be milky in color and
ranging in its thickness and odor basedon a woman�s diet, overall
health and the phase she is experiencing within her menstrual cycle.
However, to conclude, any liquid released whenfeeling sexual pleasure
(and more conclusively upon orgasm), regardlessof its color or whether
ornot it runs down the leg, will be impure.
And Allah knows best.
