This is based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who stated that she used to scrape semen off the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he would then pray in it [\"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:537\"},\"insert\":\"ibn Majah 537\"},{\"insert\":\"].\\nThis indicates that the Prophet (ﷺ) would perform prayer while semen was present on his garment, which is the practice concerning pure substances.\\n\\nAdditionally, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about semen on clothing. He said: “It is like saliva or mucus. It is sufficient for you to wipe it with a cloth or with a piece of idhkhir (a type of grass).”\\nThis hadith, in its apparent meaning, shows that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) likened semen to mucus or saliva, indicating its purity. He instructed its removal by any means—such as with idhkhir—because it is naturally repulsive.\\n\\nFurthermore, Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) would, if semen got on his garment, wipe it if it was wet and scrape it off if it was dry, and then pray in it.\\n\\nThe reasoning also includes that semen is the origin of human creation, making it pure, like clay. Similarly, the semen of animals that are pure while alive is also pure, as it is the source of their creation, and pure creatures are created from it.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff70b76658b4c232a80","tag":"Seerah: Sunnah and Hadith","count":68},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327bd","tag":"Tahara: Impurities and Invalidators","count":52}],"createdOn":"2024-12-30T17:16:01.953Z"}
