The Ruling on Pre-Seminal Fluid and Semen When They Soil the Garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz, what is the ruling if pre-seminal fluid (madhi) gets on clothing? And regarding semen (mani), is it obligatory to wash it?
Answer:
The Shaykh: Pre-seminal fluid is ritually impure (najasah); the pre-seminal fluid must be washed. If it gets on clothing, the clothing is washed. As for semen, it is ritually pure (tahir). If you wash it, that is better. If you rub it off while it is dry, that suffices. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes rubbed it off and sometimes washed it (peace and blessings be upon him).
