Doubt about the discharge of pre-seminal fluid: What is the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man finds pre-seminal fluid in his clothes and does not know whether it came out before or after his last prayer, does he have to repeat his prayer?
The Shaykh:
As long as he does not know when it came out and he is certain that he was in a state of ablution, certainty is not removed by doubt. He remains in his state of ablution until he is certain. Yes.
The questioner:
Likewise, he says, may Allah preserve you, if one doubts that he discharged pre-seminal fluid, is it obligatory for him, when he wants to pray, to check his clothes to be certain?
The Shaykh:
This is waswas (whispers of Satan) and excessive strictness. As long as he is not one hundred percent certain that his state of ablution has been broken, he remains in a state of purity. In this way, many waswas and hardships are removed.
