Question

After a wet dream or masturbation, semen soils the clothes. When they dry up, can one wear those clothes for praying?

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, semen is Najis (impure). It is not permissible to wear clothes soiled with semen and pray before removing the semen by washing, at least, the soiled area or the entire clothing.

What should I do after a wet dream?

“A wet dream is an erotic dream that causes involuntary ejaculation of semen. A dream where one is seen masturbating is not necessarily a wet dream, even though one finds some degree of excitement on awakening.”
