The ruling on the impurity of semen and the obligation of the full ritual bath when it exits from other than its natural passage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if semen exits from other than its natural passage, such as in the case of a person whose spine is broken and semen comes out, is the semen impure? And is the full ritual bath obligatory for him in that case?

Answer:
Semen is pure, whether it exits from its natural passage or from other than its natural passage. Semen is pure; because it used to fall on the garment of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would pray in it without washing it. He would only rub it off his garment (peace and blessings be upon him) when it was dry and pray in it. It is reported that Aisha used to wash it, but this is a matter of cleanliness, not a matter of removing impurity. Semen is pure.

The presenter:
Yes, and what is the question? He says: If semen exits from other than its natural passage, such as in the case of a person whose spine is broken and semen comes out, is the semen impure? No, semen is not impure in any case, neither if it exits from its natural passage nor from other than that. And is the full ritual bath obligatory for him in that case? The full ritual bath is not obligatory for him unless it exits from its natural passage. Yes.
