Certain Fluid, Which Is Other than Urine and Semen

إِنْ سَالَ مِنْ ذَكَرِكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ مِنْ مَذْيٍ أَوْ وَدْيٍ‌[1] وَ أَنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تَغْسِلْهُ وَ لَا تَقْطَعِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ لَا تَنْقُضْ لَهُ الْوُضُوءَ وَ إِنْ بَلَغَ عَقِيبَكَ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النُّخَامَةِ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْكَ بَعْدَ الْوُضُوءِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْحَبَائِلِ أَوْ مِنَ الْبَوَاسِيرِ وَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ فَلَا تَغْسِلْهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَقْذَرَهُ.

“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘If certain fluids (called al-Madhiy or Wadiy) other than semen and urine come out of your urethra during Salah (prayer), you do not have to wash them or discontinue your Salah (prayer); nor do they invalidate Wudu’ even if such fluids reach up to your backside. It is like nasal mucus

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ وَ النُّخَامَةُ إِلَّا سَوَاءٌ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Madhiy. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is only like nasal mucus. They are very similar.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ع عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ لَا يَنْقُضُ الْوُضُوءَ وَ لَا يُغْسَلُ مِنْهُ ثَوْبٌ وَ لَا جَسَدٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُخَاطِ وَ الْبُزَاقِ.

“I once asked one of the two Imams, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about al-Madhiy (certain secreted lubricant from urethra). He (the Imam) said, ‘It does not invalidate Wudu’ and it is not necessary to wash one’s clothes or body. It is only like nasal mucus and saliva.’”

“I once asked Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about al-Madhiy which flows all the way to one’s thigh. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not necessary for one to discontinue one’s Salah (prayer) to wash it from one’s thigh. It does not come out of the passage from which semen comes. It is only like nasal mucus.
