If a cause that necessitates the discharge of pre-seminal fluid is found in the sleeper before he sleeps, then he sleeps and wakes up and finds moisture

The questioner : Among these is the case where a sleeper finds a cause before sleeping that necessitates the discharge of pre-seminal fluid from him, such as contemplation or caressing, or the like, then he sleeps and wakes up and finds moisture

The Shaykh : Contemplation.

The questioner : Or yes.

The Shaykh : And the like; the apparent view is valid, and the two views are valid because two things are mentioned. Yes. It is a copy we have. From contemplation and from thinking. Yes.

The questioner : Then he sleeps and wakes up and finds moisture, but he is not certain that it is semen, and he did not mention a state of ritual impurity. He did not confirm it as semen and did not mention a dream. A dream. And he did not mention a dream. The stated position of Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) is that he does not have to perform the full ritual bath, attributing the discharge to the certain cause, which is that which necessitates the discharge of pre-seminal fluid; because the default is the absence of anything else, and he has confirmed the presence of this. Another report is narrated from Ahmad that the full ritual bath is obligatory.

The Shaykh : Do you understand this? And this happens often: the sleeper wakes up from his sleep and finds moisture, and it is unclear to him whether it is semen or pre-seminal fluid.
