Does temptation and the feeling of sexual desire towards a woman require ghusl of janaba?
Ghusl does not become obligatory because of this.
How does one perform Ghusl?
While you form the intention of ghusl, with the aim of seeking closeness to Almighty Allah, one should wash his whole body but should start by pouring water over the head, and then wash the rest of the body. You can also perform ghusl by placing your entire body under water at once while having the said intention.
If I am fasting and I slept and had ejaculated semen, what do I do so my prayers will not be invalid?
You should perform the ghusl of janabah before you can pray, and the fast is not affected.
I felt that I was about to ejaculate, but the discharge never happened, and the liquid did not come out. Will I have to do ghusl?
Without the discharge of semen, ghusl is not obligatory.
Does a man have to perform ghusl of janabah after there is some wet discharge from arousal?
A man is not required to perform the ghusl in the said cases, as semen has not been ejaculated.
What are the invalidators of ghusl?
If the person performed the ghusl correctly, then he can have either a minor occurrence or a major occurrence. Minor occurrences are those things that break the wudhu, such as breaking wind or urinating. In such a situation, wudhu will be required to perform any prayers. If he had a major occurrence, like entering the state of janabah, then ghusl become obligatory in order to pray.
If one passes wind or releases urine while performing ghusl, is it necessary to repeat the ghusl or is it in order?
It is permissible to finish the ghusl, although it is better to repeat it, and he should perform the wudhu before offering the prayer.
If a person didn’t know that he required ghusl for an act, will he have to repeat his prayers that he performed without the ghusl?
He is obligated to make up all the prayers he performed without the proper taharah.
If a thick liquid is discharged during the course of ghusl of janabah, should I start ghusl from the beginning or continue with it?
If the person during the state of janabah has urinated before the ghusl, then the release of the discharge does not affect his ghusl. If he did not urinate before performing the ghusl then there are two possibilities:
1. If he is sure that the mentioned released liquid is not associated with any traces of semen, then the ghusl is not affected and he can continue it.
2. If he doubts that it is associated with some traces of semen, then he should restart the ghusl.
If during ghusl of Janabah, you have a little bit more semen coming out, do you have to restart it or can you continue?
Ghusl should be repeated from the beginning.
Does ghusl have to be performed when one touches someone else in the state of janabah without being in the state of janabah himself?
No, touching somebody in the state of janabah is not a cause for janabah. One has to perform ghusl of janabah due to either sexual intercourse or release of semen, and not for any other reason.
Is there a way you can do ghusl of janabah with scarce amount of water?
Water usage can be reduced, as it is sufficient to wipe the body with water, and water does not have to be poured over the body.
If Pre-ejaculatory fluid (also known as preseminal fluid, or Cowpers fluid) is passed with urine or otherwise, Does ghusl of Janabah become obligatory?
Ghusl is not obligatory with the release of such a liquid.
If one was unaware that ghusl was necessary because of janabah and was ignorant of being ignorant, and offered prayers in a state of janabah and later found out its obligation, is it obligatory on him to make up all of those prayers?
Yes, he should repeat all the prayers that he offered during the state of janabah.
If after finishing ghusl, I remember that my leg was najis before I started ghusl, will I have to repeat the ghusl again completely? Is it sufficient to make only my leg tahir and wash that part only with the intention of ghusl?
It is sufficient to purify your leg and wash it, with the intention of ghusl.
Is it obligatory to wash the head first, or can I just wash any part of the body first?
You should start washing from the head, but you do not have to wash the head entirely first before washing the rest of the body.
There is some kind of colorless liquid that is discharged from one's penis, which could possibly be semen; what are the signs of semen?
The signs of semen are sexual excitement, forceful ejaculation and tepidity. If none of these signs is present - for a healthy human - then the discharge will not be considered to be semen. If the man was asleep during the discharge, then the two signs of sexual excitement and forceful ejaculation are sufficient to deem the discharged substance to be semen and najis. For somebody who is ill, such ejaculation with merely sexual excitement will be sufficient to regard it as semen.
Is it possible to perform ghusl in a pool having chlorine?
If the percentage of chlorine is minimal in such a degree that the mixture is still called water without any qualifications, then it is permissible to perform ghusl with it.
It is stated by his Eminence that a discharge will be deemed to be semen if it is accompanied with tepidity, forceful ejaculation and sexual excitement. what is it meant by tepidity and if I person feels this but when he touches his penis there’s no liquid is ghusl obligatory for him?
Those are the signs of semen if one is doubtful about the nature of the discharged liquid. So, if there is a liquid released and one doubts whether it is semen or not, then the presences of these signs will determine it to be semen. If there is no liquid released, then the ghusl is not obligatory.
Tepidity means that one feels relaxed and tired.
Should the woman perform ghusl after having a wet dream? Is the substance released considered najis like semen?
If the female releases a liquid when she reaches the peak of sexual arousal, i.e. the orgasm, then based on an obligatory precaution she is considered to be in the state of janaba, even if this takes place while she is asleep. The obligatory precaution in this case means that she should perform both the ghusl and wudhu before offering prayers and she should consider the liquid to be najis and purify her clothes and body if they came in contact with it.
