Wajib Ghusls Issue 114...

Wajib Ghusls Issue 114: There are seven Wajib Ghusls: • Janabat • Mayyit • Mass-e- Mayyit (Touching of the dead body) • Haidh • Istihadha • Nifas • The Ghusl made Wajib by a Nadhr (promise) Ghusl Janabat Issue 115: If semen comes out of a person, either while asleep or due to sexual intercourse, he becomes Junub, and must perform Ghusl Janabat for Salat and other acts which require taharat.

Issue 116: If one feels the movement of semen within the body, but it does not come out, then one will not be considered as Junub. Issue 117: If someone knows that semen has come out of the body or one knows that that which has come out is semen, one will be considered as Junub and must perform Ghusl.

Issue 118: If a liquid comes out of a person’s body but one does not know if it is urine, semen or something else, then in the event that it comes out with passion, and after it is discharged, the body becomes relaxed, then that wetness will be considered as semen. However, if all of these signs, or even some of them are not present, then that wetness will not be considered as semen.

Nevertheless, as for those who are sick, even the one sign, meaning the wetness coming out in a state of passion, is enough. Issue 119: It is Mustahab that a person urinates after semen has come out, and if one does not urinate and after the Ghusl a liquid comes out which one does not know whtehter it is semen or something else, then it will be considered as being semen.

Actions Haram for a Junub Issue 120: From the time a person becomes Junub until the Ghusl is performed or if one is not able to perform Ghusl and instead performs Tayammum, the following acts are Haram: Touching the Qur’an with any part of the body, and the names of Allah, and according to Ihtiyat Wajib, touching the names of the Prophets (a.s) and the A’immah (a.s). Going into Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabi (a.s) - even if one just goes in from one door and exits through another door.

Staying in a Masjid and in the Haram (Sanctuary) of the A’immah (a.s), but if one only intends to enter from one door and exit through another door, or to take something, then it is not a problem. Reciting any of the Surahs from the Qur’an that contain a Wajib Sajdah, even if it is only one letter from these Surahs.
