Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there evidence that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) experiences nocturnal emission?
The Shaykh : No, there is no evidence.
The questioner : Because if it is washed from the garment due to major ritual impurity, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) either engaged in intercourse or experienced nocturnal emission. If he engaged in intercourse, it would not have affected the garment.
The Shaykh : Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) not engage in physical intimacy without intercourse?
The questioner : Yes, but he was...
The Shaykh : Physical intimacy...
The questioner : Does it result in the emission of fluid?
The Shaykh : Yes, physical intimacy results in the emission of fluid, but as for nocturnal emission, it is a characteristic of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he does not experience it.
The questioner : And some scholars, may Allah reward you, have detailed that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) nocturnal emission is divided into two categories: either it is due to the devil’s interference, from which he is protected.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The second category is that there is an excess of fluid that is emitted; this occurs with the Prophet.
The Shaykh : The correct view among scholars is that it applies generally, but the issue of semen being emitted and remaining on his garments is very easy and there is no problem with it.
The Shaykh : No, there is no evidence.
