The Ruling on Pre-seminal Fluid and Semen, and the Preference of Performing Ablution Before the Full Ritual Bath

Question:
If pre-seminal fluid comes out of a person, is it obligatory to wash the two private parts, O Shaykh?

Answer:
Pre-seminal fluid requires washing; it is obligatory to wash the penis and the two private parts. One is required to wash his penis and his two private parts, and he should clean himself with it before performing the ablution for prayer. As for semen, it necessitates the full ritual bath; it is the thick fluid that comes out from desire. As for pre-seminal fluid, it is the thin fluid that comes out from the traces of desire at the tip of the penis. Its ruling is the ruling of ritual impurities: it invalidates the ablution, and one must wash the penis and the two private parts. Whatever it touches on a garment is sprinkled with water.
