The Reason for Scholarly Disagreement on the Purity of Semen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the cause of the scholars' disagreement regarding the purity or impurity of semen?
Answer:
The reason is that it comes out of the urethra. Its emergence from the place of urination gave rise to doubt about its purity and impurity. However, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of Aisha wiping it and not washing it, this indicated its purity. If it had been impure, wiping it would not have been sufficient, because it would have left a trace. Thus, this indicated its purity, and that washing it is more complete, while wiping it is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
