Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
(ritual bath) is obligatory upon the emission of semen, whether intentionally or unintentionally, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "So when you gush forth water, then perform ghusl." A Muslim should lower his gaze from what Allah the Almighty has forbidden.
