Is it necessary to change all clothes after a wet dream, or is it sufficient to change only the clothes affected by impurity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Scholars have favored the purity of semen, based on the authentic hadith from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she used to rub it off the garment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. In another narration, she said to someone who had washed a garment stained with semen: "Why did you ruin our garment for us? It would have been sufficient for him to rub it off with his fingers." Based on this, one who experiences a wet dream is not obligated to remove all their clothes; rather, they should remove theen semen from the garments it has stained.
