Must one make up prayers after performing ghusl following a wet dream if one suspects semen has been discharged again and it smells like semen?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Semen has three properties: emission with lust followed by relaxation, the smell of palm spathe, and emission in gushes and spurts. The presence of any one of these is sufficient to deem the discharge semen. If the discharge is semen, then ghusl (ritual bath) is obligatory, and missed prayers must be made up, unless the omission of ghusl was due to ignorance. In the latter case, according to Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, there is no need to repeat the prayers.
