Question

Is it necessary to take bath in the disharge of fluids by outside play with wife with out sexual intercourse? Is it ncessary to change the underware for me and her after the discharge, we are wearing the same dress which we put after sexual intercouse after the bath for our fajr prayers is it right?

Answer

May Allah reward you for seeking beneficial knowledge. As one of the salaf said, one who is shy, or who is arrogant, will not learn religious knowledge.
 
1. If there was no actual penetrative intercourse, and no ejaculation / orgasm, then ghusl (bath) is not required. If only one of the couple experienced orgasm / ejaculation, then that individual is required to perform ghusl. If there was penetrative intercourse, then both man and woman must perform ghusl, even if there was no ejaculation nor orgasm.
 
2. According to the Hanafi school, both maniyy (semen) and madhy (sexual fluid emitted prior to ejaculation) are considered ritually impure. As such, it is required to wash any parts of the body soiled by them. Similarly, it is required to remove traces of the fluids from one's clothes (by washing) before praying in them. The only exception is for dried semen, which can be scraped off instead of washing, as is reported by one of the Mothers of the Believers.
 
And Allah knows best.
