You know the whitish discharge that we get, well does it actually break you wudu, cos some people say it doesnt. I've always been under the impression that it does break your wudu and have been doing it fresh for every prayer which can be quite inconvenient. But i have just read on another site that it does not break wudu. If this is true then I could go all day with only doing wudu once or twice which is so much easier.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.
1 – Any discharge from the front or back passage (urine, stools, wind, etc.), except for wind emitted from a woman’s front passage – that does not break wudoo’.
2 – Emission of urine or stools from anywhere other than the urethra or anus.
3 – Losing one’s mind, which may mean losing it altogether by losing one’s mental faculties, which is insanity, or by losing it temporarily for a certain length of time for some reason such as sleep, unconsciousness, intoxication, etc.
4 – Touching one’s penis, because of the hadeeth of Basrah bint Safwaan, who heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever touches his penis, let him do wudoo’.” (narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Tahaarah, 154. al-Albaani said in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, no. 166, it is saheeh).
5 – Eating camel meat, because of the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn Samurah, who said that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Should we do wudoo’ after eating camel meat?” He said, “Yes.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Hayd, 539).
It should be noted that touching a woman’s body does not break one’s wudoo’, whether that is done with feelings of desire or otherwise, unless anything is emitted as a result of that touching.

Question :
A girl noticed some thin discharge on her underwear but she had not felt it come out. Is it permissible for her to pray with her underwear on which this discharge has gotten? If it is not permissible, then does she have to repeat her wudoo’ and change her underwear?.
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
The discussion on such discharges focuses on two issues:
1 – Is it taahir (pure) or naajis (impure)?
The view of Abu Haneefah and Ahmad, and one of the two views narrated from al-Shaafa’i – which al-Nawawi classed as correct – is that it is pure. This view was also favoured by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, who said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (1/392):
If these discharges come as the result of intimacy then they are pure, because they are not the waste products of eating and drinking, thus they are not urine. The basic principle is that there is no impurity unless there is evidence that something is impure. Because a man is not obliged to wash his penis if he has intercourse with his wife nor to wash his garment if anything gets onto it; if it were impure then the maniy (sememn – which is pure) would become impure (through contamination with these discharges).
See al-Majmoo’, 1/406; al-Mughni, 2/88
Based on this, she does not have to wash her underwear or change them if these discharges get on them.
2 – Is wudoo’ invalidated as a result of these discharges or not?
The view of most of the scholars is that this does invalidate wudoo’.
This is the view favoured by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, who said:
Anyone who attributes to me the view that this does not invalidate wudoo’ is not correct. It seems that he understood from my words that it is pure and does not invalidate wudoo’.
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 11/287
And he also said (11/285):
With regard to the belief of some women, that (these discharges) do not invalidate wudoo’, I do not know of any basis for that except the view of Ibn Hazm.
But, if a woman experiences this wetness constantly, then she should do wudoo’ for every prayer after the time for the prayer begins, and it will not matter if this wetness if discharged after that, even if that happens whilst she is praying.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
If the wetness described happens continually, most of the time, then every woman who experiences that must do wudoo’ for every prayer when the time begins. This is similar to the case of a woman who suffers from istihaadah (ongoing non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) or one who suffers from urinary incontinence.
But if this wetness only happens sometimes, and is not ongoing, then it comes under the same rulings as urine – when it happens it invalidates purity, even during the prayer.
