The answer

If semen is discharged during sleep, it necessitates ghusl (ritual bath), whether the sleeper felt pleasure or not, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "He should perform ghusl" for one who finds wetness but does not remember a wet dream. As for its discharge during wakefulness with pleasure and desire, it necessitates ghusl by the consensus of scholars, whether it is a small or large amount, even if it is a single drop. However, if semen is discharged during wakefulness without pleasure and desire, it does not necessitate ghusl; rather, it only necessitates wudu (ablution).
