193. It was narrated that ‘Alī said: “I was one who had a lot of prostatic discharge, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: ‘If you see Madhī (prostatic fluid) then wash your penis and perform Wudū’ like that for Salāh, but if you ejaculate semen, then perform Ghusl.”’ (Sahīh)
193 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الرُّكَيْنِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ، وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ، وَإِذَا فَضَخْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ»

The discharge of sperm (Maniy), regardless of whether it is due to sexual intercourse or a wet dream or merely lust, results in it being obligatory to perform the purificatory bath (Ghusl). However, if one's sperm or semen exits without lust or due to any medical disorder, or as a result of exerting oneself while defecating, then, according to the majority of scholars, the purificatory bath does not become obligatory. This is because none of those situations results in a person becoming sexually defiled. But in the circumstance of one's having a wet dream, in whatever form the sperm exits or in whatever quantity it exits, the purificatory bath (Ghusl) becomes compulsory. According to Imâm Ash-Shafî, whenever sperm exits from one's body, even if it be due to illness, the purificatory bath becomes obligatory.
