What is the ruling on semen in prayer clothes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It happens to me at times that I see traces of pre-seminal fluid on my clothes in a continuous manner, and then I do not find it at other times. This makes me try to inspect my clothes before every prayer, which bothers me, especially at times when I do not have the opportunity to do so. What must I do? And do I always have to wash and perform the ablution for prayer?
Answer:
There is a distinction here regarding the emission of semen. First, is semen pure? Semen is pure. If it hits the garment, it is pure; it does not need to be washed except for the sake of cleanliness only. Second, regarding the emission of semen. If it came out of you while you were sleeping, this is a wet dream, and you must perform the full ritual bath.
As for if it comes out of you while awake without desire, and it merely seeps out without desire, this does not obligate the full ritual bath because it came out without desire and without a gush, but rather it came out as a result of an illness. So you must go to the doctor for treatment and take the medication for it. However, this does not obligate you to perform the full ritual bath; it obligates you to perform the ablution for prayer only, and it obligates you to clean yourself after relieving yourself and perform the ablution for prayer only. Yes.
