Drops coming out while lying down

· 25 Muharram 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Sometimes when I am lying in bed with my wife, I feel some drops come out without getting an erection. And after about 15 minutes the stain from these drops goes away. I am not sure what these drops are; water, pee, etc. Does this require me to do ghusl or just clean the area and do wudhu before praying?

Answer

If you are sure that semen did not come out, then ghusal is not fardh. You should just wash the area and make wudhu before performing your Salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
