A question regarding the sensation of pre-seminal fluid moving but not exiting

Question : The questioner says: If a person imagines that he feels the movement of pre-seminal fluid, but he does not find any moisture, is it considered a state of ritual impurity or not?

Answer : The general rule is that one does not feel the movement of pre-seminal fluid; rather, a person feels it only when it exits. In any case, it is not obligatory for a person to perform ablution unless he sees the substance exiting. This is why, when it was reported to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a man who imagined he felt something while praying, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if you imagine that something has exited from you, whether from the front or the back, but you do not find anything, then there is no ablution required of you. And if you feel a movement, do you go to look for it, or is it recommended that you ignore it until you are certain that it has exited? Yes.
