What is the ruling on semen exiting with urine after seeing things that arouse desire, and what is the ruling on someone who masturbated and stopped before the exit of semen, then semen exited or did not exit upon urination?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If semen is discharged with a gush and a smell resembling dough or pollen, following great pleasure or masturbation, then (ritual bath) becomes obligatory. However, if it is discharged without pleasure, it does not necessitate ghusl according to Abu Hanifa, Malik, and Ahmad, while Al-Shafi'i's opinion on this differs. A person is considered to be in a state of janaba (ritual impurity requiring ghusl) if their semen moves from its place with desire, then their desire subsides, and the semen is subsequently discharged without desire. Masturbation is forbidden if performed by hand or with someone other than one's spouse.
