When and how is a woman napak (impure), and in need of Ghusl?
Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
“A purificatory bath is necessitated by:
a) sperm or female ejaculate that leaves its place of origin with desire [f: whether actual or effective], even if it exits the body without desire, even if without sexual intercourse;
b) the head of the penis entering either private part of a living human being who is fit for sexual intercourse, even without any release of sexual fluids ”
c) The finding, on one’s clothes, of what looks like semen after waking up from sleep or loss of consciousness.
d) Menses and post-natal bleeding (i.e. when they end)
