Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

if we are huuging and kissing each other with clothes on and the female touches the peak and reches her orgasm though no liquid comes out from her sexual parts so will she be still paak or will she have to take gusal for that. 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Orgasm ghusl

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 1.10

Wadi is a thick white secretion discharged (by some people) after urination. It is considered impure. Aishah said, " Wadi comes out after urination. The person should wash the private parts and perform ablution. It is not necessary to perform ghusl.’ This is related by Ibn al-Mundhir. Ibn Abbas related that "mani” (ejaculation or full sexual discharge) requires ghusl. This is related by al-Athram. Al-Baihaqi records: "Concerning ‘madhi’ (prostatic fluid or initial sexual discharge) and ‘wadi’, he said, 'Wash your sexual organs and perform the same type of ablution as you perform for prayer."'

Other than urine, there are basically three types of discharges that are released from one’s private organs:

1. Wadi (a thick white secretion released after uniration by some people)
2. Madhi (a sort of slow release of lubricant just prior to a full sexual discharge)
3. Mani (a full sexual discharge)

If only Wadi or Madhi is released, one does not require a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify oneself; one must wash their private parts and the part of their clothes or body where the ‘wadi’ or ‘madhi’ has touched, do the wudu, and make themselves available for prayer.

But when the ‘Mani’ or a full sexual discharge is released, it would become obligatory for the person to perform a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify oneself before making oneself available for prayer.

Your Question: …if we are huuging and kissing each other with clothes on and the female touches the peak and reches her orgasm though no liquid comes out from her sexual parts so will she be still paak or will she have to take gusal for that. 

If during the process of hugging or kissing or sexual ‘foreplay’ one happens to release a lubricant like release from their private parts, regardless of whether that happens to a male or a female, it would constitute the release of ‘madhi’; one is not obligated in Shariah to purify oneself with a ghusl after the release of ‘madhi’, but one should wash one’s private parts and the parts of the body or clothes where the ‘madhi’ might have touched and make themselves available for prayer.

But if one were to reach their sexual peak and experience orgasm or a full sexual discharge (mani), then one would be considered in a state of major sexual impurity and it would be absolutely obligatory for them to purify themselves with a ‘ghusl’ before they make themselves available for prayer.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
