Madhi or Wadi? ; This liquid (urine) is considered wadi and not madhi. Wadi is defined as a thick white cloudy secretion that has no smell, and usually follows urination and can sometimes come before it. Whereas madhi is a clear thin secretion that exits in small amounts (f: when having a lustful thought or when making a lustful glance). [Maraqi al-Falah 1:150]
Both of these secretions are considered filth and necessitate wudu without ghusl. [Dur al-Mukhtar 1:111]
If a trace of any of these two filths, not amounting to the area of a dirham (approx. 5 centimetres in diameter), affects one’s clothing, then it would be recommended for one to remove it.

It was also reported that even if he had perfumed his hand or not, if he shook the hand of a man the fragrance would remain for the rest of the day. When the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam placed his hand on the head of a child, the child was recognizable from amongst other children by its fragrance. [Imam Bukhari recorded it in his Tareekh al-Kabeer]
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam visited the house of Anas and fell asleep on a rug and perspired. When Anas’s mother noticed the perspiration she fetched a long necked bottle into which she collected the drops of perspiration. Later, the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam inquired about it, whereupon she replied, “We mixed it with our perfume and it is the most fragrant of scents.” [Majma az-Zawaid, Vol 8, Page 282 – Sunan Daarimi, Vol 1, Page 32]
Even when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam relieved himself, it is reported that the earth would split open and swallow his discharge and there remained a fragrant aroma. Mother of the Believers Syeda Ayesha may Allah be pleased with her, said to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam “When you return after relieving yourself, there is nothing offensive about you.” He replied, “O Ayesha, don’t you know that the earth swallows up what is discharged from the prophets so that nothing is seen?” [Haakim, Vol 4, Page 72]
