Ghusal after hugging and touching one's spouse
Question
I want to ask whether ghusal will be waajib when one kisses, touches and hugs one's spouse without doing intercourse. At that time some fluid also comes out. Is ghusal waajib in this situation?
Answer
If mazi comes out, then the wudu will break. Ghusal does not become compulsory.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
