Do I need ghusl after kissing?

Published in Islamic Ritual Purity 1 min read

Whether you need to perform Ghusl after kissing depends on whether ejaculation occurred. According to AskImam.org, if you did not ejaculate while kissing, then your Ghusl is not required.

Here's a breakdown:

  • No Ejaculation: Ghusl is not obligatory.

  • Ejaculation: Ghusl is obligatory.

However, AskImam.org also advises that even if ejaculation did not occur, performing Ghusl is advisable as a form of repentance (Tawbah).
