Emission of semen due to illness does not require ghusl
Question: 1927
I understand one of the causes that make ghusl a must are:
1. The emission of semen, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “What requires water (ghusl) is if you see water
(i.e., semen) coming out of you.” (Reported by Muslim, no. 1/269) .
My question is: like my case sometimes I see semen emitting with my urine
and I confirmed that it is a semen as recently I have done a medical check
and found trace of semen in my urine. Is it compulsory for me to perform
ghusl when I see semen emit with my urine?
I am really appericiate this website because a lot of the questions
and answers make me more convinced to practice Islam in my life.
Thank you very much
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The emission of semen due to enjoyment or a “wet dream” requires ghusl, but if semen
is emitted in the urine or because of sickness, with no pleasure involved, this does not
require ghusl. All you have to do is clean yourself properly after passing urine or
stools, and perform wudoo’ before praying. This is sufficient,
Al-hamdu-lillaah.
