Is the discharge from the penis ritually impure (najis) or not?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on the emission from the male organ regarding its impurity has been previously clarified. However, the ruling on whether it nullifies ablution is a matter of disagreement among scholars. Some consider everything that exits from the two private parts as nullifying ablution, whether it is in a state of health or illness. This is the view of Ash-Shafi'i and Ahmad. Others stipulate that the emission must be customary, like urine and prostatic fluid, and that its exit must be in a state of health. Thus, they do not consider ablution necessary for stones or worms, and this is the view of Malik and his companions.
