A man performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity and prayed, then afterwards saw a trace of semen that had come out of him. Is he required to repeat the bath and the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Likewise, in the case of a man who, after performing the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity and praying, says that he felt some remaining semen had come out, meaning he confirmed that. So what is required of him after that?
The Shaykh : Meaning, after he performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, he felt that some remaining semen had come out of him?
The questioner : Yes, he felt it. I am telling you, when he prayed, he saw it after he finished the prayer, or did he see that some remaining semen had come out?
The Shaykh : There is a difference.
The questioner : The semen came out without desire.
The Shaykh : There is a difference, O Shaykh. Did he see the trace or did he feel the discharge?
The questioner : No, he saw the trace. Then, even if he felt it, he would have to tell you that it came out without desire, flowing out, meaning it was a discharge of the remainder, not a discharge like this. He says it is a remainder that did not come out with desire. Some people find that it is stored up, and perhaps when they move after a period of time, it comes out.
The Shaykh : I asked you a question so that I can gather my thoughts and answer you. Did he see the trace after he prayed, or did this come out while he was praying or after he prayed?
The questioner : Yes, okay. In this case, we need the answer for both situations here.
The Shaykh : In both cases, that he saw this trace, it is one ruling; it does not harm.
The questioner : It does not harm? He does not repeat anything?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : He does not repeat the prayer or the bath?
The Shaykh : No, no, because semen is pure.
The questioner : Correct, but he does not repeat anything.
The Shaykh : Yes. However, if it came out of him during the prayer, then I have hesitation here between saying that it is the remainder of the semen, or perhaps it is something else. From where is it judged, for example, that it is the remainder of the semen? If we assume that it is the remainder of the semen, then this does not obligate the full ritual bath, nor does it obligate the ablution. However, it might be something else, and something else invalidates the state of purity.
The questioner : It invalidates the state of purity.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes, yes, it is clear here. And may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
