The answer

If semen is discharged during ' (washing after urinating or defecating) without desire, pleasure, or gushing, it does not necessitate (ritual bath) according to the majority of scholars, whereas the Shafi'is and those who agree with them hold that it does. However, if it is discharged with desire, ghusl is obligatory without dispute. As for wadi (a thick, whitish discharge) which often exits after urination and without desire, it does not necessitate ghusl, but it is impure and requires purification of the body and clothes from it.
