Question Summary:
What to do if one sees whiteness/wetness on his private part/underpants upon waking up? Method of doing Istinja? Question Detail:
1) Can you please explain in full detail all the differences between mani mazi and wadi such as colour, stickiness etc.
2) Sometimes when I wake up I don’t feel any wetness but I see a very small bit of whiteness on my clothes which is not sticky. What would this count as? Will ghusl be wajib?
3)If I notice after I have prayed salah will qada have to be made?
4) If mazi comes out I know only wudu is necessary; but do you have to wash the private part and clothes first?
5) What is the correct method of doing istinja? I am 20 years old but I feel like I’m not doing it correctly. Can you explain as if explaining to a child like if there is a certain way or order of washing the private parts. Include the method of using Indian toilet. Please answer in as much detail as possible. These problems have been bothering me for a while. May Allah reward you greatly for the work you are doing.

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
1) Mani (semen) is thick, white liquid. After the emission of mani, the erection subsides. When fresh, it smells like the flowers of a date palm tree. When dry, it smells like eggs.
Mazi (preseminal fluid) is thin, clear liquid which releases during arousal without gushing (dafaq) and does not diminish the arousal. One may not even be aware of its release.
Wadi is thick, murky, white liquid that resembles mani (semen) in thickness but not in murkiness. It has no smell and comes out after urination. Sometimes, it comes out before urination. Usually, not much more than a drop or two of wadi comes out.
The emission of mazi (preseminal fluid) and wadi does not necessitate ghusl; they merely break one’s wudu. The emission of mani (semen) necessitates ghusl if it takes place with arousal; otherwise if mani (semen) is discharged due to heavy lifting or sickness etc, ghusl will not become compulsory, although one’s wudu will break.
( يفترض الغسل بواحد ) يحصل للإنسان ( من سبعة أشياء ) أولها ( خروج المني ) وهو ماء أبيض ثخين ينكسر الذكر بخروجه يشبه رائحة الطلع ومني المرأة رقيق أصفر ( إلى ظاهر الجسد ) لأنه ما لم يظهر لا حكم له ( إذا انفصل عن مقره ) وهو الصلب ( بشهوة ) الخ ( مراقي الفلاح: ص 95 )
( قوله : يشبه رائحة الطلع ) أي عند خروجه ورائحة البيض عند يبسه ( الطحطاوي: ص 96 )
وفي هامش إمداد الفتاح معزيا إلى المبسوط للسرخسي: الطلع: أول ما يثمر من النخل ثم يخرج منه التمر ( إمداد الفتاح: ص 93 )
( فصل : عشرة أشياء لا يغتسل منها: مذي ) بفتح الميم وسكون الدال المعجمة وكسرها وهو ماء أبيض رقيق يخرج عند شهوة لا بشهوة ولا دفق ولا يعقبه فتور وربما لا يحس بخروجه وهو أغلب في النساء من الرجال ويسمى في جانب النساء قذى بفتح القاف والدال المعجمة ( و ) منها ( ودي ) بإسكان الدال المهملة وتخفيف الياء وهو ماء أبيض كدر ثخين لا رائحة له يعقب البول وقد يسبقه أجمع العلماء على أنه لا يجب الغسل بخروج المذي والودي ( مراقي الفلاح: ص 100 )
( و ) منها: ( ودي ) وهو ماء أبيض كدر ثخين يشبه المني في الثخانة ويخالفه في الكدرة ولا رائحة له ويخرج عقب البول اذا كانت الطبيعة مستمسكة وعند حمل شئ ثقيل وقد يسبق البول ويخرج قطرة أو قطرتين أو نحوهما و أجمع العلماء على أنه لا يجب الغسل بخروج المذي والودي ( إمداد الفتاح: ص 98 )
في نور الإيضاح: ينقض الوضوء اثنا عشر شيئا: ما خرج من السبيلين إلا ريح القبل في الأصح الخ ؛ وفي الشرح: كالبول والغائط والدودة والحصاة والمني والمذي والودي والحيض والاستحاضة والنفاس الخ ( إمداد الفتاح: ص 84 )
2) Whether ghusl will be compulsory or not if you see any wetness/whiteness in your underpants upon waking up will depend on a number of factors, including: whether or not you remember having a dream (of engaging in sexual intercourse) and whether or not you think you know what the wetness/whiteness most probably is. There are a total of 14 possible scenarios in this. All the scenarios and their rulings are as follows:

قال ابن عابدين: اعلم أن هذه المسألة على أربعة عشر وجها ؛ لأنه إما أن يعلم أنه مني أو مذي أو ودي أو شك في الأولين أو في الطرفين أو في الأخيرين أو في الثلاثة ، وعلى كل إما أن يتذكر احتلاما أو لا فيجب الغسل اتفاقا في سبع صور منها وهي ما إذا علم أنه مذي ، أو شك في الأولين أو في الطرفين أو في الأخيرين أو في الثلاثة مع تذكر الاحتلام فيها ، أو علم أنه مني مطلقا ، ولا يجب اتفاقا فيما إذا علم أنه ودي مطلقا ، وفيما إذا علم أنه مذي أو شك في الأخيرين مع عدم تذكر الاحتلام ؛ ويجب عندهما فيما إذا شك في الأولين أو في الطرفين أو في الثلاثة احتياطا ، ولا يجب عند أبي يوسف للشك في وجود الموجب ، واعلم أن صاحب البحر ذكر اثنتي عشرة صورة وزدت الشك في الثلاثة تذكر أولا أخذا من عبارته اهـ ح ( رد المحتار: 1/331 ، دار المعرفة )
( كذا في الطحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح: ص 99 ، العلمية )
You should see which scenario applies in your case and act accordingly.
3) Use the table above. If ghusl was compulsory on you and you offered your salaat without doing ghusl, then you will have to repeat the salaat after doing ghusl.
If ghusl was not compulsory on you and the whiteness is more than a dirham in size (2.75 cm in diameter), then you will have to repeat your salaat after washing off the whiteness. If the whiteness is equal to or less than the size of a dirham, you will not have to repeat the salaat.
4) Mazi is impure in the category of najaasa ghaleeza. Therefore, if mazi has besmeared the body and/or clothes and has spread to an area more than the size of a dirham (2.75 cm in diameter), then it is compulsory to wash off the mazi from the body and clothes before performing salaat. If it has spread to an area the size of a dirham or less, it will be mustahabb (preferable) to wash off the mazi, not compulsory. If both the body and clothes have been besmeared then the besmeared area of both the body and the clothes will be combined to determine if it is more than the size of a dirham. (Maraaqil Falaah: pg. 155; Bashishti Zewar: 1/33; Ahsanul Fataawa 2/89, 95-96)
5) After relieving oneself, one must firstly do istibraa’. Istibraa’ is to ensure that urine has completely expelled from the private part. One may use any method for this purpose that works for him and that he is accustomed to, such as: coughing, taking a few steps while holding some toilet paper to his private part, squeezing out the last drops of urine from the private part etc.
After doing istibraa’, one should properly clean one’s private parts. For this, it is best to use both toilet paper and water (firstly he should wipe with toilet paper then he should wash with water). Second best is to use only water. Third best is to only use toilet paper.
However, if the urine has spread to an area more than the size of a dirham (2.75 cm in diameter), then it is compulsory to use water. One cannot suffice only on toilet paper in this case. Similarly, in the case of expelling stool, if the stool has spread around the private part and is more than the weight of a dirham (4.86 grams -- regardless of size) then using water is compulsory; one cannot suffice on toilet paper in this case too.
When using toilet paper, it is mustahabb (preferable) to use an odd number (3 upwards). Therefore, even if one attained cleanliness using one or two pieces of toilet paper, it will be preferable for him to use three pieces.
If one needs to clean both his back private part as well as the front one, he should begin with the back one. This will help to expel the last drops of urine from the front private part.
When washing the back private part with water, he should wash properly until he is satisfied that the area is clean. If he is not fasting, he should relax the back private part, as this will help to clean the impurity that did not fully expel. He should wash his private part until the bad smell on the private part and on his fingers is removed (unless it is hard to do so), as this will ensure cleanliness.
After washing the private parts, one should dry them (by wiping with toilet paper, for example). (Maraaqil Falaah; Tahtawi; Imdaadul Fattaah)
