Question:
Often a person wakes up and does not remember a nocturnal emission, but he sees moisture on his clothes, and he does not know what this moisture is?
Answer:
If it is semen, he performs the full ritual bath. If it is not semen, it may be pre-seminal fluid, in which case he washes it. But if he knows it is semen, he performs the full ritual bath. And if he is in doubt, the safer course for him is to perform the full ritual bath. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah preserve you.
