Semen coming out after taking a fardh ghusl

Question

I had ejaculation so then I performed ghusl. After some time a little semen ejaculated even though I was not aroused. Should I do ghusl again?

Answer

The Fuqahaa mention that after taking fardh ghusl, if semen comes out, then it is compulsory for one to repeat the ghusl. However, in the following three cases, if semen comes out after making ghusl, one will not have to repeat the ghusl:

(1) If one passed urine before taking ghusal, and after the ghusl, semen had come out, then repeating the ghusl will not be compulsory.

(2) If after the ghusl, one walked for forty steps or more, and thereafter, semen had come out, then repeating the ghusl will not be compulsory.

(3) If after the ghusl, one had slept for some while, and after waking up, semen had come out, then repeating the ghusl will not be compulsory.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) 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…”
