Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: A person had a trace of semen on his underwear, and he prayed in it, but he did not see it until after completing the prayer. What is the ruling on his prayer?
Answer:
Semen is pure; even if one knows about it, that semen is pure. It is urine that is impure, whereas semen is pure. Removing it is only a matter of removing dirt, not a matter of removing impurity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray while there was a trace of semen on his garment. Aisha would rub it dry from the garment of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would pray in it.
