The Obligation of Ghusl (the full ritual bath) for One Who Has Fainted and Emitted Semen

Question:
If the unconscious person emits semen, is the ritual bath obligatory for him, O Shaykh?

Answer:
It is not a settled matter. Does it mean he may have emitted it due to desire, like in a dream, or due to something other than desire? The point is that the similar case is that of the sleeper. If he finds water, he performs the ritual bath. If he finds in his clothes, after he has regained consciousness, semen, it is more similar to the sleeper; he performs the ritual bath, and it is obligatory for him to perform the ritual bath. That is the ruling. As for if he did not find semen, it is only recommended to perform the ritual bath, just a recommendation, like the one who becomes unconscious, as happened to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he became unconscious and he performed the ritual bath (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is recommended for the unconscious person to perform the ritual bath, but if he finds water, it is obligatory for him to perform the ritual bath, meaning semen, like the sleeper who has a wet dream; if he finds semen, it is obligatory for him to perform the ritual bath. Yes.
