The ruling on nocturnal emission is contingent upon the discharge of semen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: If I have a nocturnal emission but I wake up quickly and prevent the semen from falling on my clothes, and I discharge it in the toilet, do I have to perform the full ritual bath, or is the ablution sufficient for prayer and reading the Qur'an?
A3: It is obligatory for you to perform the full ritual bath for this, whether you discharged the semen on your clothes or in the toilet; because the ruling on nocturnal emission is contingent upon the discharge of semen;
due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Water is from waterالماء من الماء
, and also to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) when Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him, saying:
God is not ashamed of the truth. Is any washing necessary for a woman when she has a sexual dream?” He replied, "Yes, when she sees signs of liquid.إن الله لا يستحي من الحق، فهل على المرأة من غسل إذا هي احتلمت؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: نعم إذا رأت الماء
Mishkat al-Masabih 433, 434
. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
