THINGS OR ACTS WHICH MAKE GHUSL OLBLIGATORY
- If semen is discharged out of passion while one is awake or asleep ghusl becomes wajib, irrespective of whether it is discharged by touching a person of the opposite sex; or by having any such thoughts or fantasies; or by any other way in all cases, ghusl will be wajib.
- If one awakens and sees semen on his clothing or body, ghusl will be wajib irrespective of whether one sees a dream or not
- When the glands of the penis enters the vagina and is not visible, ghusl becomes compulsory irrespective of whether semen was discharged or not. The insertion of the penis in the front makes ghusl obligatory irrespective of whether semen was discharged or not. If it is inserted in the anus, then ghusl will become obligatory. However, it is a major sin to insert the penis in to anus or even to request it.
- That blood which is discharged monthly, (Menstruation, Haidh - Arabic term). When this blood stops flowing, ghusl becomes obligatory. That blood which is discharged after child birth is (nifaas). Ghusl also becomes obligatory when this blood stops flowing.
In short, ghusl becomes obligatory in four conditions:
- Discharge of semen out of excitement.
- Entry of the glands of the penis in to the vagina (or anus)
- At the end of menstruation.
- And the end of nifaas.
- Whilst sleeping; one has a wet dream and even experiences some excitement. However on awakening, one notices that no semen was discharged ghusl will therefore not be obligatory. However, if semen was discharged, ghusl will be obligatory. If there is any wetness on the clothing or body, but one is in doubt as to whether it is mazi ( thin liquid known as pre-coital fluid which increases excitement) or semen ( thick liquid) then too it will become obligatory to perform ghusl.
- A little semen comes out and then one has a bath. After bathing more semen comes out it will be obligatory to bathe again (NOTE: This rule only applies if semen comes out prior to sleeping, urinating, or walking 40 steps or more). If after bathing the husbands semen comes out of the womans vagina the ghusl will be complete and it will not be neccessary to repeat it. (NOTE: only if she knows for certain that the semen is her husbands and not her own. If not ghusl will become wajib again.
- If, due to some illlness, or some other reason semen comes out of it’s own accord and there was no excitement or desire then ghusl will not be obligatory, but wudhu will break
