A man woke up from sleep and found moisture, but he does not know whether it is pre-seminal fluid or semen; does this require the full ritual bath in this case?

The questioner : ... A man woke up from sleep and found moisture, but he does not know whether it is pre-seminal fluid or semen; does this require the full ritual bath in this case?

The Shaykh : He does not know whether it is semen or pre-seminal fluid? In most cases, what comes out of a sleeping person is only semen; because pre-seminal fluid comes out either during caressing or when relieving oneself of the need to urinate. In any case, the color of semen differs from that of pre-seminal fluid, especially if... [it] remains, and it becomes clear whether it is semen or not. In most cases, it is semen. In any case, this returns to the person afflicted with it; because he is the one who knows. If we suppose, for example, ... it is not his habit to emit pre-seminal fluid, but it is his habit to emit semen, I think such a question would not arise at all. But perhaps sometimes he emits pre-seminal fluid and sometimes he emits semen. However, he should look at his habit: does he emit semen while sleeping, as happens with young men? So the important thing is that the matter requires every person to judge for himself after he has gained some understanding of what I mentioned just now.
