Question

I made Ghusl after engaging in conjugal relations with my wife and after Ghusl, a few drops of semen came out. Do I have to repeat the Ghusl?

Answer

In principle, if a person performs Ghusl after having conjugal relations or after experiencing a wet dream (Ihtilaam) and thereafter, he/she witnesses a few drops of semen (Mani) exiting the private parts, then if it occurred after engaging in excessive walking; or after urinating; or sleeping, it is not necessary to repeat the Ghusl. In such a case, only the Wudhu will have to be repeated.

However, if a few drops of semen (Mani) exited the private parts before engaging in excessive walking; or before urinating; or sleeping, it will be necessary to repeat the Ghusl. (Hindiyyah 1/14)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
