A question regarding the ritual bath for major ritual impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man who has not yet married. Sometimes, when I wake up from sleep, I feel and see traces of semen on my underwear, but I do not remember having a wet dream. Is the ritual bath obligatory for me? I hope you will clarify this. May Allah reward you.

Answer:
When you find semen on your body or your clothes upon waking from sleep, the ritual bath is obligatory for you. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Water is from waterالماء من الماء
, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to Umm Sulaym al-Ansariyyah when she asked him about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees, whether she must take a ritual bath? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Yes, if she sees any liquid.نعم إذا رأت الماء
Muwatta Malik 2:86
, meaning semen. It is agreed upon that this hadith is authentic. And success is from Allah.
