Question

I made Ghusl after engaging in conjugal relations with my wife and after Ghusl, a few drops of semen came out. Do I have to repeat the Ghusl?

Answer

In principle, if a person performs Ghusl after having conjugal relations or after experiencing a wet dream (Ihtilaam) and thereafter, he/she witnesses a few drops of semen (Mani) exiting the private parts, then if it occurred after engaging in excessive walking; or after urinating; or sleeping, it is not necessary to repeat the Ghusl. In such a case, only the Wudhu will have to be repeated.

However, if a few drops of semen (Mani) exited the private parts before engaging in excessive walking; or before urinating; or sleeping, it will be necessary to repeat the Ghusl. (Hindiyyah 1/14)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
