Is it permissible to remove the trace of semen from clothes and then wear them again after performing ghusl?
It is permissible for a worshiper to pray in clothes that have been stained with semen before washing them, as the preponderant opinion is that it is pure. It is recommended to wash its trace if it is wet, based on what Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated that she used to wash it from the garment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. If it is dry, it should be rubbed off with the hand, and its trace does not harm, based on what Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated that she used to rub it off from the garment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and and blessings be upon him, and he would pray in it. This is because it is considered repulsive.
