Does the emission of semen due to anxiety or fear, after a previous pleasure, not necessitate Ghusl, and does the person remain ritually pure?
Ghusl is obligatory if what is emitted from you is semen due to pleasure from looking or thinking. To learn the difference between semen and other emissions, please refer to Fatwa No. 63002. Often, what is emitted is madhy (pre-seminal fluid) when desire is aroused due to thinking about it. Madhy is a thin, white fluid that is discharged upon pleasure from arousal or thinking. It is obligatory to lower the gaze from forbidden things due to their dire consequences, and to strive against one's self to get rid of bad thoughts.
