Noticing a few drops of semen after performing Ghusl

Question

I performed Ghusl after relations, but shortly afterwards, I noticed a few more drops of semen. Should I perform Ghusl again? Please advise.

Answer

If after intercourse, before taking a ghusl, a person slept, urinated, or walked around for approximately 40 steps, then in such a case if he experiences a discharge of semen after taking a Ghusl, it will not be necessary to repeat the Ghusl for a second time. In this instance, the semen should be washed off, and the Wudhu renewed.

However, if he took a Ghusl immediately after intercourse without doing any of the above and then experienced a discharge of semen, it will be necessary to repeat the ghusl. (al-Mabsoot 167 – Shaami 1/160 – Fataawa DUZ 1/701)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

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…”
