The ruling on what comes out of the penis in terms of ritual purity and impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! Many of the listeners are actually asking about what comes out of the penis in terms of ritual purity and impurity. Perhaps you could speak to them about that?
Answer:
What comes out of the penis is urine, and this is ritually impure by consensus. It is obligatory to wash whatever it touches, to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), to wash the penis, and to wash whatever the urine touched, whether it be the thigh, clothing, or anything else.
The second is madhi (pre-seminal fluid), which is also ritually impure, but its impurity is lighter. It is sufficient to sprinkle water on whatever it touched on the clothing or thigh, or the like, merely running water over it, along with washing the penis and the two testicles.
The third thing that comes out is mani (semen), which is pure according to the correct opinion. If it comes out with desire and pleasure, ghusl (the full ritual bath) is obligatory. If it comes out due to an illness, it is like urine, requiring only istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself). However, if it comes out with a discharge, pleasure, and desire, it requires ghusl (the full ritual bath). As for what comes out of blood, it is like urine and is washed. From the blood, such as if one has an illness that causes blood to come out from the anus or from the penis, it is like a woman; one washes and performs istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) from the blood just as one does from urine.
