Question

If i had sex with my husband but no semen came into contact with the bed, do i still have to wash out the bedding? Does the bed now become napaak, if i didn't wash out the bedding, and everytime we sleep on it we have to make ghusal? What is the ruling if semen does come into contact with the bedding?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If the bed did not get soiled with semen, the bed will be paak (pure). If the bed got soiled with semen, the soiled portion of the bed must be washed.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
