The cause of wudu' from semen, even though it is not impure
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Nabil, the Shaykh, you said in what pleased you that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not impure, why did we make wudu' because of it?
Answer:
Because it is a discharge and is not impure in itself, but one is commanded to perform wudu' from it because it comes out from the two passages, and every discharge from the two passages necessitates wudu'. If it comes out with desire, if the semen comes out with desire and flows, it necessitates ghusl, it necessitates ghusl. But if it comes out without desire, it necessitates wudu' because it is a discharge from the two passages, and what comes out from the two passages invalidates wudu', even if it is a bird, it invalidates wudu'.
