The ruling on moisture after sleep when it is uncertain whether it is pre-seminal fluid or semen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And it is not the case that if it was in the month, the patient was declared a disbeliever, and it was found in his mouth after death, and they were not punished. I am not certain about what came out of him because it is close to 'Amir. What does he do? And is there a difference between one who committed the act of disbelief and one who did not commit the act of disbelief?
The Shaykh:
That he is the one who is cautious.
The questioner:
Our children and our companions.
The Shaykh:
And not to. Yes, is the question okay?
The questioner:
And it is not the Shaykh, if the young man is carrying the patient, and if it was in his state after sleep, and when he was carrying the patient, and he is not certain that it came out, because it is a little of the addressed, what does he do? And are there points between one who preceded his sleep with thought, and one who did not precede his sleep with thought?
The Shaykh:
This issue has a detailed explanation that does not lack three cases. The first case is that he is certain that this moisture is semen, so it is obligatory for him to perform the full ritual bath. The second case is that he is certain that this moisture is pre-seminal fluid and not semen, so he does not have to perform the full ritual bath; rather, he has to wash this moisture, sprinkle it with water, and wash what it affected on his body, then perform the ablution for prayer and pray, because this is pre-seminal fluid, and he is certain that it is pre-seminal fluid.
The third case is that he does not know whether it is pre-seminal fluid or pre-seminal fluid? And in this case, he acts according to the indicators. If his sleep was preceded by caressing or thinking, this is evidence that this is pre-seminal fluid, evidence that it is pre-seminal fluid, so he does what the one who has pre-seminal fluid coming out of him does; it is not obligatory for him to perform the full ritual bath. But if there are no indicators pointing to it being pre-seminal fluid, and he has no indicators, no cause for his sleep being caressing or thinking or anything, and he did not look at anything that arouses desire, some people, and may Allah protect us, look at things that arouse desire, especially after the existence of these films and these showers and these disasters, it may be that if his sleep was preceded by looking at these things, this indicates that this is semen, that it is semen, so he treats it as semen, and he performs the full ritual bath. It is obligatory for him to perform the full ritual bath if there are indicators pointing to this being semen, then he performs the full ritual bath. If there are indicators pointing to it being pre-seminal fluid, he does not perform the full ritual bath. If there are no indicators for this or for that, he treats it as semen and performs the full ritual bath. So the cases are four, the cases are four. The first case, if he knows it is semen, he performs the full ritual bath. The second case, if he knows it is pre-seminal fluid, he does not perform the full ritual bath. The third case, if he does not know this or that, but there are indicators pointing to it being pre-seminal fluid, he treats it as pre-seminal fluid. The fourth case, if there are indicators pointing to it being semen, he treats it as semen and performs the full ritual bath.
The fifth case is that there are no indicators for this or for that, so he treats it as semen out of caution and performs the full ritual bath. Five cases in this issue.
The questioner:
I saw the lawful.
The Shaykh:
No, he is sleeping, he has no certainty, he is sleeping, and even if he had certainty, he is sleeping, and the sleeper comes out of something and does not know. No, he is sleeping and the situation is gone, he is sleeping, he has no thinking and he has nothing.
The questioner:
And not something.
The Shaykh:
Like the ablution, if a person sleeps, his ablution is broken, because he does not know, he does not hold himself back and does not know, so it is obligatory for him to perform the ablution, and he renews his ablution, because he has lost his awareness.
And it is not the case that if it was in the month, the patient was declared a disbeliever, and it was found in his mouth after death, and they were not punished. I am not certain about what came out of him because it is close to 'Amir. What does he do?
