The Ruling on the Discharge of Pre-Seminal Fluid and Nocturnal Emission for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid by a fasting person, whether it is due to looking or touching?
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that it does not break the fast, whether it is from looking or touching. Some scholars said that it breaks the fast like semen, but the correct view is that it does not break the fast. One should clean oneself, wash his private parts and his testicles, and perform ablution if he wants to pray, or perform tawaf, or touch the mushaf.
The questioner:
Once.
The Shaykh:
It does not invalidate it.
The questioner:
Even if he is occupied.
The Shaykh:
And he did not consult, it does not invalidate the fast.
The questioner:
And semen, people mean.
The Shaykh:
The Mothers of the Believers do not consider it obligatory upon them.
The questioner:
The result of a wet dream? From a wet dream.
The Shaykh:
Or not?
The questioner:
And he is sleeping.
The Shaykh:
The meaning of gentleness: a wet dream is by one’s desire. He takes a bath, so he takes a bath and his fast is valid. If he has a wet dream at dawn or at midday while fasting, his fast is valid, because a wet dream is not by choice, it is not by your will. Yes.
