Arabic text

296 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَفْرُكُ الْجَنَابَةَ - وَقَالَتْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى - الْمَنِيَّ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

Commentary

In terms of its legal ruling, semen is not identical to urine or feces; its every speck or flake does not have to be removed from a garment. On the contrary, it is sufficient to rub off or scrape off semen from a garment. Whatever falls off is well and good. If something of it remains stuck in the fabric, then that is fine - the garment remains pure.
