Does pre-seminal fluid invalidate fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 14217 )
Q: In the past month of Ramadan, I would sleep and talk with my wife while fasting. Sometimes, when I am beside her, my penis becomes erect and my nerves are agitated. After that, I move away from her, but a small, sticky, odorless drop comes out of the penis. I should note that if my penis becomes erect, even if I am not with my wife, this drop usually comes out after about five minutes. Does this invalidate the fast, and does it require the full ritual bath? I ask for clarification in the answer so that I may be clear in my religion.
A: The emission of pre-seminal fluid does not invalidate the fast according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. What you asked about is called pre-seminal fluid, and it requires the ablution after washing the penis and the private parts; based on the authentic hadiths reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. As for what of it touches the body or the garment, it is removed with water and does not require washing. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
