No, you cannot pray namaz if sperm comes out, as it invalidates your Wudu (ablution).
Explanation
The emission of sperm requires performing Ghusl (a full ritual purification) if it occurs due to sexual activity or wet dreams. However, if it's merely a discharge due to illness or other non-sexual reasons, it breaks Wudu.
Here's a breakdown:
-
If the sperm emission is due to sexual intercourse or a wet dream (ejaculation): You must perform Ghusl before praying. Namaz is not permissible without Ghusl in this state.
-
If the sperm emission is due to illness or other non-sexual reasons (involuntary discharge): This invalidates your Wudu. You need to perform Wudu again before praying. Additionally, any sperm on your clothes or body must be washed off before prayer.
Steps to Take
- Determine the cause: Identify why the sperm was emitted.
- Perform the necessary purification:
- Ghusl: If the emission was due to sexual activity or a wet dream.
- Wudu: If the emission was due to illness or other non-sexual reasons.
- Cleanliness: Wash away any sperm that came into contact with your body or clothes. Ensure your body and clothes are clean before praying.
- Repeat prayer: If the emission occurred during prayer, you must repeat your Wudu (or Ghusl if necessary) and then repeat the prayer.
| Cause of Emission | Required Purification | Effect on Prayer |
|---|---|---|
| Sexual Activity | Ghusl | Prayer not permissible without Ghusl |
| Wet Dream | Ghusl | Prayer not permissible without Ghusl |
| Illness/Involuntary | Wudu | Prayer not permissible without Wudu; repeat. |
It is important to maintain cleanliness and purity before offering prayers in Islam. Therefore, addressing the state of ritual purity after sperm emission is essential.
