Two questions regarding gusl and wudhu according to Hanafis.
Question
Selamun aleykum.
I have two questions.
According to HANAFIS:
– I once asked that if a women masturbates and expiriences an orgazm, but does not know wether a fluit exited her or not, if gusl would be obligatory for her. You answerd my question- May Allah reward you!
But I also want to know, what if this women never checked if any fluit exited her or not due to lack of knowledge and ignorance ? When I commited this act (May Allah forgive me) I never checked if any fluit exited me or not because of lack of knowledge and simply because I didn’t really care. I heard that gusl would be obligatory but never cared for and therefore did not take gusl after masturbating and having an orgazm. Would gusl have been obligatory in that case ?
– When a woman feels desire/lust, does Mezi (the fluit that comes when lust and desire occurs) DEFINITELY occur or CAN it occur?
May Allah reward you ! Thank you.
Answer
Wa’alaykum as-Salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,
- Ghusl After Masturbation:
If a person masturbates and experiences orgasm, Ghusl (ritual purification) becomes obligatory if she is certain that fluid was discharged. If there is uncertainty or lack of knowledge about whether fluid was released, the general rule is to err on the side of caution and assume that Ghusl is required.
If, due to ignorance or lack of attention, she did not check or perform ghusl after the act, and if she was unsure whether fluid exited her, the principle of caution dictates that she should perform ghusl whenever she realizes the obligation or learns about it. This is to ensure that she has fulfilled her obligation of ritual purification. Ignorance or unawareness does not negate the obligation once it becomes known.
- Occurrence of Madhī (Pre-ejaculatory Fluid):
Madhī, the pre-ejaculatory fluid, is not necessarily a guaranteed outcome of feeling desire or lust. Its occurrence can vary from person to person. While most individuals might experience it in response to sexual arousal, it is not definitive for everyone. In Islamic jurisprudence, the presence of this fluid does not automatically make it obligatory to perform ghusl; rather, it is the discharge of Manī (semen) that necessitates ghusl.
In summary, for the first question, Ghusl would generally be considered obligatory if fluid was released during masturbation, regardless of prior ignorance. For the second question, the occurrence of Madhī is possible but not definitive with mere lust or desire.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
