Confusion regarding the wetness on clothing
Question
I believe I have a madhi problem
Ok so everyday now when I get up its my routine to wash my private part because of madhi that I don't even feel coming out and I don't see it coming out, it's just the smell or the mark I see on my pyjamas, but anyway now I just assume I have and just clean my private part, but even in the day time I don't ever feel it coming out I think, nor do I know it has.
Today for instance, I put my hand by my private area and smelt my hand and I don't know whether I am confusing myself between this and sweat, it smells like madhi, but it's only the smell and I felt no substance or nothing, nor do I even recall having any sexual thoughts or anything.. It seems like I have a problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
You may refer to the following fatwa for further information regarding the three types of fluids from the private part:

Furthermore, it seems like the wetness you are experiencing may be only sweat and none of the three impure fluids. As such, there is no need to worry.
