Is ghusl required upon feeling the subsiding of desire and languor without the emission of semen due to taking medication?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ghusl is not obligatory merely due to sexual desire without the emission of semen or the joining of the two circumcised parts (khitanayn); this is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying, "Indeed, water [Ghusl] is from water [semen]," and his saying, "If the two circumcised parts meet and the glans disappears, Ghusl becomes obligatory."
