The answer

occurs with the emission of semen, or by the insertion of the glans (penis tip) into the front or back passage, whether lawfully or unlawfully. As for the emission of madhy (pre-seminal fluid), it does not necessitate (ritual bath); rather, it only requires washing whatever it has touched of clothing or body, because it is impure and nullifies wudu (ablution). Semen is pure and nullifies wudu according to the majority of scholars, and necessitates ghusl according to everyone.
