It was mentioned before Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about wetness, madhi, and some other things felt by a man, so he said: If I find any of these things, I will perform ghusl (ritual bath).

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that in the case of the emission of semen, ghusl is obligatory, and in the case of the emission of madhiy or wadi, wudu is obligatory.

Hazrat Abu Huraira was asked about the obligation of ghusl due to madhiy, so he replied that it is merely excitement; only wudu becomes necessary because of it.

Hazrat Istabraq says that I asked Salim about madhi, so he replied that ablution (wudu) should be performed in this case.

Hazrat Ikrimah says that there is ghusl (ritual bath) for semen, and for madhiy and wadhi, the private part should be washed and wudu (ablution) should be performed.

Hazrat Simak says that I asked Hasan Basri, "If a man emits madhi (pre-seminal fluid), what should he do?" He replied, "Madhi is emitted by every adult man; he should wash his private part."

Hazrat Mujahid says that ghusl is obligatory for semen, and wudu is obligatory for madhiy and wadhi.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair says that in the case of madhiy, the private part should be washed three times and then ablution should be performed.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that Ghusl is obligatory due to semen, and Wudu is obligatory due to madhiy and wadhi, and he will also wash the private part.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a lot of madhy (pre-seminal fluid) would come out from me. Since the daughter of the Messenger of Allah was in my marriage, I felt shy to ask (the Prophet), so I told a man and he asked the Prophet on my behalf. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you see madhy, perform ablution and clean your private part, and if you see semen, then perform ghusl (full ritual bath).
