Summary
A person should try to tell the fluids apart by their characteristics. If they cannot be distinguished, the preferred view in the Shafi'i school allows the person to choose whether to treat it as mani or mazi. If treated as mani, the obligatory bath must be repeated. If treated as mazi, the bath need not be repeated, but the private part must be washed and ablution performed for acts of worship that require it, since mazi is impure and nullifies ablution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di sisi Mazhab Syafie, para ulama mengatakan sekiranya dia syak samada cecair yang keluar itu mani atau mazi maka dia boleh memilih untuk menentukannya sama ada mani atau mazi.
