Ask Qul - QA

Question : #183

Subject:	waking up with semen emitted
Question:	Salaam, If i wake up during Fajr prayer and i have semen emitted, and having a ghusal is not available, can i still conduct my prayers? I had a dream that someone told me that only if you force emission (masturbate) then is your prayers void until ghusal is conducted. What is the ruling behind this, is my Fajr prayer void as i did not conduct ghusal after waking up with semen emitted? Thanks
Answer:	A person enters the state of Janabat in two ways: 1. Sexual intercourse 2. Discharge of semen, while sleeping or when awake, little or more, with lust or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily. Your Fajr prayer is void and Qaza prayer is mandatory on you now.
