Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A reader asks: What is the meaning of janabah? And when must a man perform ghusl to remove janabah?
A: Janabah is a description of a man or a woman when intercourse occurs between them, or when semen is discharged with desire, even without intercourse. The obligatory act for them in this case is ghusl, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: : [Surat al-Ma'idah: 6], and He said in Surat al-Nisa: [Surat al-Nisa: 43].
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 430 It is agreed upon that it is authentic, and the wording is from Muslim. Umm Salim al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked and said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not shy of the truth, but does a woman have to perform ghusl if she has a wet dream? He said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 122Sahih (Darussalam) It is agreed upon that it is authentic. And there are many hadiths on this matter.
And success is from Allah.
A: Janabah is a description of a man or a woman when intercourse occurs between them, or when semen is discharged with desire, even without intercourse. The obligatory act for them in this case is ghusl, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: :
And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves
وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُواO you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلا جُنُبًا إِلا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلُواAnd the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If one lies on his wife and compresses her, washing is necessary, even if he does not insert his penis.
إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع ثم جهدها فقد وجب الغسل، وإن لم ينزلUmm Salamah narrated: Umm Sulaim bint Milhan came to the Prophet and she said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Allah is not embarrassed of the truth. So is it required of a woman - meaning Ghusl - when she sees in her sleep similar to what a man sees?' He replied: 'Yes. When she finds water (wetness), then she is perform Ghusl.'" Umm Salamah said: "I said to her: 'O Umm SuIaim! You have disgraced the women!'"
نعم، إذا هي رأت الماءAnd success is from Allah.
