I am when I play with my wife, things come out of me other than what usually comes out during intercourse. Is this considered major ritual impurity or does it invalidate the ablution? May Allah guide you.

The questioner : I am when I play with my wife, things come out of me other than what usually comes out during intercourse. Is this considered major ritual impurity or does it invalidate the ablution? May Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. What comes out of you during touching and caressing, and repeated looking with desire, is not considered semen, because semen is what comes out in a gush with pleasure, and it is thick, and a person feels it when it comes out with a specific sensation. But what this questioner describes is closest to pre-seminal fluid. Pre-seminal fluid does not obligate the full ritual bath; rather, it only obligates washing the private parts and the two thighs, and then performing the ablution, just like other things that come out of the two passages, which obligate the ablution. So pre-seminal fluid obligates washing the private parts and the two thighs, even if it does not touch them, and it also obligates the ablution. The scholars have mentioned that four types of things come out of the private part:
Urine, which is well known; a thick fluid passed after urination, which is a white fluid that comes out at the end of urination; pre-seminal fluid, which is a sticky fluid that comes out after desire without the man feeling it; and semen, which is this gushing fluid that comes out with pleasure and a specific sensation.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And each of these types has its own ruling. As for urine and the thick fluid passed after urination, they are ritually impure; they obligate washing whatever they touch, and they also obligate the ablution. As for pre-seminal fluid, it is ritually impure, but its impurity is light; sprinkling water on whatever it touches is sufficient. It is sprinkled with water.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And it obligates washing the private parts and the two thighs, even if nothing of it touches them, and it obligates the ablution. As for semen, it is pure, and it obligates the full ritual bath for the entire body. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wash the wet parts and rub the dry parts.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Aisha would rub it, and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) would wash it. Yes.
The questioner : 'Abd al-Barr Salih al-Salih from Riyadh sent this note, saying: To the honorable Shaykh answering in the program "Light on the Path": Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And after that.
