The Ablution for Prayer After Bathing from Nocturnal Emission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And he said:
Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixtureإِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ
[Al-Insan 76:2]
meaning mixed from the man's semen and the woman's semen; he is created from the man's semen alone. They also interpreted His saying, the Exalted: "It comes out from between the backbone and the ribs." The ribs of the man's backbone and the ribs of the woman come from a gushing water. This water comes out from between the backbone for the man and the ribs for the woman. The doctors' words in these matters are not acceptable because they do not know the unseen. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the ablution obligatory for prayer after bathing from nocturnal emission?

The Shaykh:
As you mentioned, if he has a nocturnal emission and water comes out of him, he has two purifications: the purification of the minor state of ritual impurity and the purification of the major state of ritual impurity. He performs the ablution first; he cleans himself first and cleans the outlet and whatever the pre-seminal fluid or semen touched. Then he performs the ablution for his prayer, and then he bathes. Yes.
