Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Firstly, regarding the fluid that has come out, you can refer to Question 6425.
Secondly, concerning hugging a friend, it is not permissible if it is done with pleasure and suspicion, or if it leads to arousal, or is accompanied by any other prohibited act.
May you be successful in all good.
