I felt shy of asking about prostatic fluid from the Apostle ﷺ because of Fatimah. I, therefore, asked al-Miqdad (to ask on my behalf) and he asked. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ablution is obligatory in such a case.  

مسلم:٣٠٣bوَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُنْذِرًا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ

أَنْ أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَذْىِ مِنْ أَجْلِ فَاطِمَةَ فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ مِنْهُ الْوُضُوءُ

I used to get emotional urethral discharges frequently and felt shy to ask Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. So I requested Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad to ask (the Prophet ﷺ ) about it. Al-Miqdad asked him and he replied, "One has to perform ablution (after it)."

When the issue of madhi bothered me a great deal, I told al-Miqdad to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, and he said: ʿWudooʿ is due for it.ʿ He felt shy [to ask about this matter] because of Fatimah.

I was a man who emitted a great deal of madhi but I felt too shy to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it because his daughter was married to me, so I told a man to ask him and he said: ʿFor that, do wudoo’.ʿ

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the mazi (pre-seminal fluid) for the sake of Fatimah, so I ordered a man to ask him and he said about it that it invalidates wudhu according to the two Sahihs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) from the hadith of Shu'bah.
