Should I Perform a Ghusl Because of Pre-Ejaculate Fluid?

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Question: Assalamu alaykum

I am a woman. After getting sexually aroused I observe sticky transparent fluid. Is it necessary to take ghusl?

Answer:  Walaikum assalam,

I hope you’re doing well, insha’Allah. This pre-ejaculate (madhi) requires a ritual washing (wudu), but not a bath (ghusl). [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]
