Does ghusl become void if a small amount of semen is discharged during the ghusl itself, neither before nor after it?

There are two scenarios for semen discharge during ghusl:
- If it is with desire, then the initial ghusl is invalidated, and one must repeat what they have washed, because the emission of semen necessitates ghusl.
- If it is without desire, such as residual semen from the first emission, then only the wudu is invalidated, and one is not required to repeat the ghusl. In this case, one must wash the affected area and repeat the wudu.
