Question

What should I do after having a wet dream? I take a shower but after the ghusl I notice that a clear sticky fluid still flows out…… Do I have to retake ghusl for that?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Prior to taking ghusl, if you walked a considerable amount, slept or urinated then you would not have to repeat the ghusl.

However, if none of this was done prior to taking a ghusl, then the fluid flowing after the ghusl would nullify it, necessitating a repeat of the ghusl.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وتظهر الثمرة بما إذا اغتسل في مكانه وصلى ثم خرج بقية المني عليه الغسل عندهما لا عنده وصلاته صحيحة اتفاقا ولو خرج بعد ما بال وارتخى ذكره أو نام أو مشى خطوات كثيرة لا يجب الغسل اتفاقا

لو اغْتَسَلَ من الْجَنَابَةِ قبل أَنْ يَبُولَ أو يَنَامَ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَقِيَّةُ الْمَنِيِّ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَهُمَا خِلَافًا لِأَبِي يُوسُفَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى

وَكَذَا لَوْ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ بَقِيَّةُ الْمَنِيِّ بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ أَوْ الْبَوْلِ أَوْ الْمَشْيِ الْكَثِيرِ نَهْرٌ أَيْ لَا بَعْدَهُ؛ لِأَنَّ النَّوْمَ وَالْبَوْلَ وَالْمَشْيَ يَقْطَعُ مَادَّةَ الزَّائِلِ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ بِشَهْوَةٍ فَيَكُونُ الثَّانِي زَائِلًا عَنْ مَكَانِهِ بِلَا شَهْوَةٍ فَلَا يَجِبُ الْغُسْلُ اتِّفَاقًا زَيْلَعِيٌّ

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…”
