Question
Does clear/white vaginal discharge from the internal part nullify wudu? I struggle to understand what constitutes the internal part and often redo wudu unnecessarily when I feel something coming out. Can you clarify this?
Answer
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.
What was probably meant was that discharge that is not related to menstruation, like discharge from vaginal infections, childbirth, or sexual arousal. However, in your case, it is vaginal discharge you are experiencing, not any other, so remain assured. You do not need to do wudu.
Below is a list:
Comparison of Different Vaginal Discharges
Normal Vaginal Discharge is Completely white or clear, like cloudy lotion, egg whites, pasty, or tacky or clear. There is a difference of opinion. However, it is akin to sweat and pure and clean.
Discharge from vaginal infections is white, gray, or green. It is clumpy, fish stench, the vagina itches or burns, the vulva gets swollen, or the sex hurts. Wudu is required, and it’s filthy.
Arousal fluid is clear, the quality of it is wet, sticky, and slippery, only exits upon arousal, and wudu is required.
Orgasmic Fluid is yellow, and the quality is thin and watery at the time of orgasm; a ghusl is required, and it is filthy.
