What is the ruling on the traces of semen that a wife finds the day after intercourse, subsequent to performing ghusl, and are they considered pure, allowing her to pray?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a wife performs after intercourse, she becomes pure and is obligated to pray. If her husband's semen exits her afterward, she is not required to perform another ghusl, because it is a remnant of the first (emission), but it does nullify wudu.
