Question:
What are madhy and wadhy?
Answer:
Madhy is a thin fluid that comes out of the urethra without intention, due to kissing and caressing, and wadhy is a white, thin fluid that comes out after urination.
Both madhy and wadhy are impure (najis). Their ruling is like that of urine. If they get on the body or clothes, they must be washed.
❀ Hafiz al-Baghawi (may Allah have mercy on him) (d. 516 AH) says:
اتفقوا على نجاسة المذي والودي
“The jurists are in agreement that madhy and wadhy are impure.”
Reference: (Sharh al-Sunnah: 90/2)
❀ Hafiz al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) (d. 676 AH) says:
أجمعت الأمة على نجاسة المذي والودي
“The Ummah has consensus that madhy and wadhy are impure.”
Reference: (al-Majmu’ Sharh al-Muhadhdhab: 552/2)
There is no ghusl (full bath) required upon the emission of madhy or wadhy.
