Is seeing something that arouses desire necessitates ghusl? And is its ruling the same as that of a wet dream or reaching climax upon awakening followed by the discharge of semen? And if one sees something that arouses desire in their dream but does not feel the tremor, does ghusl become obligatory if something is discharged? And what is the ruling concerning the presence of something yellow upon awakening, being uncertain whether it is semen or a yellow discharge, given the continuous presence of a yellow discharge due to a menstrual disorder? And is ghusl obligatory upon the discharge of semen at night or at maghrib without control?
You are not required to perform ghusl merely upon seeing something that arouses desire. Rather, it is obligatory only if you are certain that what has exited you is manī (seminal fluid), which necessitates ghusl. If you are in doubt, ghusl is not obligatory; instead, you have the option regarding this discharge. However, if you are certain that manī has exited, ghusl becomes obligatory, even if a long period has passed. You must also repeat the prayers you performed without ghusl, provided you have absolute certainty about the emission of manī.
