Purification from pre-seminal fluid: sprinkling the garment, washing the private parts, and performing ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it sufficient to sprinkle the garment and wash the penis and testicles to purify oneself from pre-seminal fluid, or is it necessary to perform ablution even if one does not intend to pray?

Answer:
No, ablution is only required if one intends to pray. Pre-seminal fluid invalidates the ablution because it comes from the same passage as urine. So if you want to perform ablution, if you want to pray, you must perform ablution, and you must clean yourself by washing the penis and testicles, as stated in the hadith. This falls under the category of cleaning oneself after relieving oneself. Washing the penis is part of cleaning oneself after relieving oneself; you do it immediately, even if you are not praying. You perform cleaning after relieving yourself or if something comes out, either by washing or using stones. As for ablution, you do it if you intend to pray,
when you rise to [perform] prayer, washإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:6]
as in the noble verse.
