Ghusal Due to Discharge For a Woman

· 29 Jumada I 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

When I become sexually excited, a fluid seeps out of my private part. There is a tingling sensation and itchiness in my private part when it seeps out, but clearly there is no sexual pleasure or orgasm when it seeps out because I have experienced an orgasm before. I am always in doubt since it is difficult to differentiate female ejaculate from other fluids which are discharged from a women's private part unlike men. Since it affects our daily prayers, so do I still need to perform ghusal? I follow the hanafi madhab.

Answer

Wash the soiled area and perform wudhu.
