Experiencing a discharge after Ghusl

· 21 Rabiʻ II 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

After sexual intercourse, I take ghusl and after a while, I feel some discharge emerging. Do I need to urinate and then wash, or just wash without urinating?

Answer

If after intercourse, one slept, relieved himself, or walked around, and thereafter experiences a discharge after taking Ghusl, then there is no need to renew the Ghusl for the second time. In this instance, the discharge should be washed off and the Wudhu renewed. Yes, if he took Ghusl immediately after intercourse without doing any of the above (i.e. sleeping, relieving oneself or walking around), then Ghusl will be obligatory for the second time.
