One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Que 1: Difference between ghusl / bath / full bath (for valid wadu) ?
Question 2: When I wake up, I sometimes see one or more drops of clean unsticky fluid. Do I have to take full bath or can I merely wash the private parts and replacing the inner cloth that I weared? ( To perform namaz)
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer: Difference between Ghusl, full bath
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Q-1: Difference between ghusl / bath / full bath (for valid wadu) ?
‘Ghusl’ is the Arabic term for a full bath, with the intention to purify oneself from major physical or sexual impurities. Anyone who performs a ‘ghusl’ or full bath would be considered in the state of wudu and available for prayer, unless he breaks the wudu or ablution.
Q-2: When I wake up, I sometimes see one or more drops of clean unsticky fluid. Do I have to take full bath or can I merely wash the private parts and replacing the inner cloth that I weared? ( To perform namaz)
Other than urine, there are two types of discharges that are released from a man’s private organs:
Madhi (a sort of slow release of lubricant just prior to a full sexual discharge)
Mani (a full sexual discharge)
If only Madhi is released, one does not require a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify himself; he must wash his private parts and the part of his clothes or body where the ‘madhi’ has touched, do the wudu, and he would be available for prayer.
If Mani is released, then one would require a ‘ghusl’ or full bath to purify himself.
If one occasionally experiences a fluid discharge when one wake up, it might be possible that the person has had a ‘wet-dream’ which he does not remember, and it would be best if the person performed a ‘ghusl’ or full bath of sexual impurity to purify himself for prayer.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
