The Ruling on Semen and Washing It from Clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is semen pure? And if it falls on clothing, is it obligatory to wash it?
Answer:
Semen is pure; a man's semen is pure. However, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that she used to wash it from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while it was wet, and scrape it off when it was dry. Yes, otherwise it is pure.
