Reasons for Ghusl

Question
What are the reasons for Ghusl? Is the discharge of pre-seminal fluid (madhi) and post-seminal fluid (wadi) a reason for Ghusl or for Wudu (ablution)?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Ghusl (full ritual washing) is required after sexual impurity (janabah), menstruation (hayd), and postpartum bleeding (nifas). Janabah occurs with the ejaculation of semen, and ablution (wudu) is required for pre-seminal fluid (madhi) and prostatic fluid (wadi). And God knows best.
