Crucial differences between the spermatic fluid of a man and a woman
Fatwa No: 91473

Question

I want a complete description of the spermatic fluid of a woman, and to what extent it differs from Mathy (thick pre-seminal fluid) if she has any, with regard to its aspect and description.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

The spermatic fluid of a woman is yellow and thin, as the Prophet said: "The spermatic fluid of a man is thick and white while the spermatic fluid of a woman is thin and yellow." [Muslim] The jurists mentioned that the smell of the sperm is like palm leaves or dough, and that it comes out with a desire, after which one feels tired. As regards Al-Mathy, An-Nawawi defined it as follows: 'It is a thin pre-seminal sticky white fluid which comes out when someone has a desire for sexual intercourse, but without having sexual intercourse, and it does not come out with force; also, one does not feel tired after it, and it might be that one does not even feel when it comes out, and this applies to the man and the woman.' 

Allaah Knows best.
