The Effect of Pre-seminal Fluid and Nocturnal Emission on the Fasting of the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid for a fasting person, whether it occurs through looking or touching?
The Shaykh:
That which does not break the fast of the fasting person: the correct view is that it does not break the fast, whether he looks or if he touches. Some scholars said that it breaks the fast, like the esophagus, but the correct view is that it does not break the fast. He should perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), wash his private parts and the tip of his finger, and perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) if he intends to pray, or perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), or carry the mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an).
The questioner:
Kuwait.
The Shaykh:
And it does not invalidate it.
The questioner:
Even if it is in the month.
The Shaykh:
And he did not consult, it does not invalidate the fast.
The questioner:
The people wronged me, as if you.
The Shaykh:
The Mother of the Believers does not have to make up the fast.
The questioner:
The result of a wet dream? From a wet dream. And it is successful.
The Shaykh:
The meaning of a wet dream is that it happens by one's desire; he performs ghusl (the full ritual bath), so he performs ghusl, and his fast is valid. So if a person has a wet dream at dawn or at midday while fasting, his fast is valid, because a wet dream is by nature, not by his choice. Yes. Yes. Imams.
