A person becomes ceremonially unclean (Junub) by two things: (i) Sexual intercourse and (ii) Discharge of semen, whether it comes out when one is asleep or awake, or it is in a large or small quantity, or it comes out with lust or otherwise, or it comes out voluntarily or involuntarily. 352. Suppose some fluid comes out of the body of a person and he does not know whether it is semen or urine or something else.

If it comes out with lust and leaps and after its coming out the body becomes feeble that wetness will be treated to be semen. But if all or some of these signs are not present the fluid will not be treated to be semen. In the case of sexually diseased person, however, it is not necessary that the fluid should leap while it comes out. On the other hand if it comes out with lust and the body becomes feeble at the time of its coming out it will be treated to be semen. 353.

If a liquid substance comes out of the body of a man who is not a diseased person and it possess one of the three signs mentioned in the foregoing article and he does not know whether or not it also possesses other signs, and if before the coming out of that liquid substance he was with ablutions he can content himself with that ablutions. And if he was not with ablutions it is sufficient for him to perform only ablutions and it is not necessary for him to take bath. 354.

It is recommended that a person should urinate after the seminal discharge. In case, therefore, he does not urinate and a liquid comes out of the penis after bath, and about it, it cannot be said whether it is semen or something else, it will be treated to be semen. 355.

If a person has sexual intercourse with a woman and the male organ enters either of the secret parts of the woman up to the point of circumcision or more than that, both of them become unclean ceremonially, whether they are adults or minors and whether semen comes out or not. 356.
