Nocturnal emission with the discharge of semen necessitates the full ritual bath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 12102 )
Q: I am a young man of sixteen years of age, meaning: I am now at
the age of puberty, and every night, or every two days, while sleeping, I am surprised in the morning, i.e., at the time of the Fajr prayer, by a nocturnal emission, which is what constantly happens to a pubescent young man, and this usually happens every night or after two days. I go to the mosque, perform the ablution for prayer, and pray while in this state, and I do not perform the full ritual bath before prayer because the time is tight and the weather is very cold. I do not know if my prayer is permissible while I am in this state, or not? Is prayer permissible without performing the full ritual bath, or not? And what is the cure for the recurrence of this nocturnal emission? Please inform us at the earliest opportunity; may Allah reward you and guide you to what is good?
A: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions... And to proceed: Nocturnal emission in a dream with the discharge of semen necessitates the full ritual bath, even if it recurs. The ablution for prayer is not sufficient after a nocturnal emission; rather, it is necessary to perform the full ritual bath for the entire body. Whoever prays before performing the full ritual bath must repeat the prayer. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
