157. It was narrated that 'Alî said: "I felt too shy to ask the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about prostatic fluid because of Fâtimah, so I told Al-Miqdâd bin Al-Aswad to ask about it, and he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: 'Perform Wudû' for that." (Sahih)
157 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خالدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُنْذِرًا، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: اسْتَحْيَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْمَذْيِ - مِنْ أَجْلِ فَاطِمَةَ - فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: «فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ»

If a certain kind of sexual fluid (Madhi) soils the garment, the portion of clothes affected with it will have to be washed. This is because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ has commanded the washing of the private part when it is sullied by such fluid. Such fluid, therefore, is an impurity. Otherwise, there would not have been a need to wash the private part that is sullied by it. Imâm Ahmad's view is that it will suffice if water is poured over the affected portion of the garment. It does not need washing or wringing. This is because in one narration the term Nadhah occurs. Nadhah signifies to pour water. By inference, it could be stated that if the mark of the sexual fluid is discernible on the garment, it should be washed. If the fluid has dried, after an objective assessment of the situation, water should be poured on it. It need not be washed. This way, all relevant Ahâdith will be put into practice.
