The ruling on repeating the prayer when there is a trace of pre-seminal fluid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner who sent this question says that he is a young man who experiences the discharge of pre-seminal fluid. He says: Sometimes I pray and then I find a trace of pre-seminal fluid on my clothes. Do I have to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
Yes, pre-seminal fluid invalidates the ablution. If it touches the body or the clothing, it must be washed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it to be washed because it is ritually impure. However, as long as you do not know whether it occurred during the prayer or after the prayer, the default is that the prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah. But if you know that it occurred during the prayer, then it is necessary to repeat it. Yes.
