Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : We mentioned regarding pre-seminal fluid that it is emitted without a person being aware of it, and we said that if a person doubts it, it is not considered to have been emitted. How can these be reconciled? Could it be emitted without one being aware?
The Shaykh : Yes, but if it is emitted, it leaves an effect on the head of the penis, an effect like coolness and moisture.
The questioner : Yes, is it considered a doubt?
The Shaykh : One does not look at it; it is like any other state of ritual impurity.
The questioner : Generally, one is not aware of pre-seminal fluid.
The Shaykh : No, if it is emitted, it becomes apparent when one urinates, but at the moment of its emission, a person does not feel it, and it is not of the same nature as semen.
