227 - Issue: He said: "And whatever exits from a human or an animal whose meat is not consumed, whether it be urine or otherwise, is impure."

This refers to what exits from the two passages, such as urine, excrement, madhy (prostatic fluid), wady (prostatic discharge), blood, and the like. We know of no disagreement regarding its impurity, except for minor matters that we will mention, if Allah Almighty wills.

As for the urine of a human, it has been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) regarding the man he passed by while he was being punished in his grave, that "he used to not keep himself clean (la yastatiru) from his urine." This is agreed upon. It is also narrated in a report that the majority of the punishment of the grave is due to urine. As for wady, it is a white, thick fluid that exits after urination; its ruling is exactly the same as the ruling of urine, because it is an exit from the passage of urine and flows in its course. As for madhy, it is a sticky, thin fluid that exits following sexual desire, at the tip of the penis. The apparent position of the school (Madhhab) is that it is impure. Harun al-Hammal said: I heard Abu 'Abd Allah holding the opinion regarding madhy that one must wash what the garment has been touched by from it, unless it is a small amount. We have previously mentioned the disagreement regarding pardoning a small amount of it. It is narrated from Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, that it is in the same category as semen. He said, in the narration of Muhammad ibn al-Hakam, that when Abu 'Abd Allah was asked about madhy, is it more severe or semen? He said: They are the same; they do not come from the passage of urine; rather, they are from the loins and the ribs, as Ibn 'Abbas said: To me, it is in the same category as saliva and mucus. Ibn 'Aqil mentioned something similar and reasoned that madhy is a part of semen because the cause for both of them is desire, and because it is an emission triggered by desire, it is analogous to semen. The apparent position of the school is that it is impure because it is an emission from the passage that is not the start of a human's creation, so it is analogous to urine, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded the washing of the penis from it, and a command necessitates obligation.
