The ruling on praying in trousers in which one experienced a nocturnal emission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on one who prayed in trousers in which he had a nocturnal emission, and he was aware of it? Is it said that a nocturnal emission is preceded by pre-seminal fluid?
The Shaykh:
A nocturnal emission is a distinct matter, and semen is a distinct matter. Or, if he prayed in a garment or trousers with semen on them, his prayer is valid, because semen is a distinct matter, or like urine.
The questioner:
Is a nocturnal emission preceded by pre-seminal fluid?
The Shaykh:
We do not know. We have not established anything; we do not know about it. The important thing is that the semen is expelled. The answer is from one who is in a state of sleep or from one who is awake.
