The Difference Between Pre-Ejaculate and Semen
How can I distinguish between semen and pre-ejaculate, and what is the process of purification from both?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: semen usually occurs during intercourse, while pre-seminal fluid occurs during foreplay, and each has its own specific characteristics. One must perform a full ablution for semen and ablution for pre-seminal fluid, and God knows best.
