Question Detail:

 Lately I worry and doubt about marks in my trousers, like the marks are like white smudges without any substance, is this sweat? Like today After I been awake I put on new clothes and already had doubts on markings in them, whether they came from the washing machine or whatnot, with these doubts like today I don't notice wetness or sticky privates, it was normal, can you please advise, what does Madhi look like on clothes and advise me on my situation in shaa Allaah. I am a teenager.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Madhī is a thin whitish fluid[1] which is released when one is aroused (it does not gush out like semen); it is also called pre-coital fluid. Madhī does not leave distinguishing marks like semen, nor does it have a strong smell.[2] The emission of madhī necessitates wudū.[3]
You may keep a tissue in your private area which will determine whether or not there was any emission. Also, you may sprinkle water on the private area to ward off any suspicious thoughts by assuring yourself that it is merely water.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
