Question

If I get an erection without any sexual action or masturbation(spontaneous erection) and a few drops come out, am I impure? Or Do I just need to clean the drops.

P.S I think the drops are pre coital fluid?

Answer

Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,

The emission of fluid after erection is called madhi.

Madhi is Najis (impure). If you were in the state of wudhu, the emission of madhi will invalidate the wudhu.

The private part as well as the garment that got soiled with madhi will have to be washed. It is not necessary to wash the entire garment. Washing the specific soiled portion of garment will suffice.

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best,
