Section: Abu al-Harith said: I asked Ahmad about a man who has an ailment that sometimes causes his posterior to protrude. He said: If he knows that a moisture issues with it, he should perform wudu'; but if he does not know, then there is nothing upon him. It is possible that Ahmad only intended a moisture that separates from it; because it is something issuing from the private part and separating, so it nullifies it like that which issues upon a stone. As for the moisture that is inherent to it, it does not nullify, because it is never free from moisture; thus, if it were to nullify, its exit would nullify it in any case. Furthermore, it is something that did not separate from it, so it does not nullify, just like the rest of its parts. They have said regarding one who protrudes his tongue while there is moisture upon it, then draws it back in and swallows that moisture: [He does not break his fast]; because the ruling of separation was not established for it. And Allah knows best.

Section: We have already mentioned that madhy (prostatic fluid) nullifies wudu', and it is that which issues as a slippery, flowing substance during arousal, and it appears on the tip of the male member. There is a difference of opinion regarding its ruling. It is narrated that it necessitates wudu' and the washing of the male member and the testicles, due to what was narrated that Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I was a man who produced much madhy, and I was shy to ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, because of his daughter; so I ordered al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad to ask him. He said: 'He should wash his male member and his testicles, and perform wudu'." Narrated by Abu Dawood. In another wording: "He should wash his male member and perform wudu'." (Agreed upon). In another wording: "Perform wudu' and sprinkle your private part." The command implies obligation; and because it is something that issues due to arousal, it necessitates a washing in addition to what is necessitated by urine, like maniy (semen). Based on this, a single washing is sufficient; because what is commanded is an absolute washing, so it necessitates whatever the term "washing" applies to. It has been established in his statement in the other wording: "And sprinkle your private part," and it is the same whether he washes it before the wudu' or after it, because it is a washing.
