Hence, there is a difference of opinion.<br \/>\nSome of the later scholars based the rulings on the first view and others based it on the second view.<br \/>\nIf a women experiences excessive discharge, she should avail the first opinion which does not consider the discharge to be impure. Hence, she will not need to renew her <i>wud\u016b\u2019 <\/i>each time the discharge occurs. \u00a0However, if the discharge does not occur frequently, it is preferable to renew the ablution and follow the path of precaution.<br \/>\nSimilarly, it is preferred that a woman wash those garments that have been affected by the discharge. However, if she is unable to do so, she can avail the more lenient option.<br \/>\nThis is all concerning the discharge which is not discolored. As for that discharge which is discolored due to Candida or any other ailment, or that discharge which is from excitement; these are considered impure by all and nullify the <i>wud\u016b\u2019<\/i>. Hence, washing and renewing the <i>wud\u016b\u2019 <\/i>are necessary.<br \/>\nAs for ejaculatory fluid, \u02bfAll\u0101ma Ibn \u02bf\u0100bid\u012bn describes it as follows: \u201cIf it is watery yellow then it is the ejaculatory fluid of women\u201d (<i>Radd al-Mu<\/i><i>\u1e25<\/i><i>t\u0101r<\/i>\u00a01:111). It has also been reported to be milky in color and ranging in its thickness and odor based on a woman\u2019s diet, overall health and the phase she is experiencing within her menstrual cycle.<br \/>\nHowever, to conclude, any liquid released when feeling sexual pleasure, and more conclusively upon orgasm, regardless of its color or whether it runs down the leg or not, will be impure.<br \/>\nAnd Allah knows best.<br \/>\nBy Shaykh Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the name of Allah, the Inspirer of truth.
