Question

I heard there are 2 types of sperm mani and mazi. If mazi comes out of the private parts whilst keeping a fast but the person does not touch the private parts to release it, would the fast be broken?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There are three types of fluids that emit from the private parts besides urine.

Mani-Sperm: A white thick fluid which emits at the time of ejaculation.

Mazi-Pre-coital fluid: A clear thin fluid which emits due to sexual arousement.

Wadi-Liquid that precedes urine.

However, if a person masturbates then his fast will break. He will have to make up that fast but kaffārah will not be necessary.

If mani or mazi comes out whilst a person is fasting, this will not invalidate the fast.

And Allah knows best
