Hazrat Sahl bin Hunaif narrates that I was greatly troubled because of madhi (pre-seminal fluid) and I used to perform ghusl (ritual bath) frequently because of it. I mentioned this matter before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he said: "Wudu (ablution) is sufficient for you because of madhi." Hazrat Sahl says: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon you! What is the ruling regarding that which has gotten onto my clothes?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A handful of water is sufficient for you. Sprinkle it on that part of your clothes where you think madhi has touched."

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says that when a person becomes junubi (in a state of major ritual impurity) in a garment, and then sees traces (of impurity) in that garment, he should wash that garment. And if he does not see any traces in the garment, then he should only sprinkle water on it.

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates that a man from the tribe said to Abu Maisarah: "I became junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) in my clothes, so I looked at (the clothes) but did not see anything." Abu Maisarah said: "When you perform ghusl (ritual bath) and wear your clothes while you are still wet, then that is sufficient for you."

It is narrated from Ibrahim regarding a man who had a wet dream in his clothes but does not know the exact spot of impurity, that this man should sprinkle water over the garment.

It is narrated about Hazrat Salim that a man asked him, "I had a wet dream in my clothes?" He replied, "Wash the clothes." The questioner said, "The (affected part) is hidden from me." Hazrat Salim said, "Sprinkle water over it."

Hazrat Zaid bin Salat narrates that Hazrat Umar used to sprinkle water in case nothing was visible.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib that if you forget (the place of ejaculation), then sprinkle (water) on it. And the statement of (Imam) Abu Hanifa has been mentioned that: He will not sprinkle water on that cloth. Sprinkling water will only increase the impurity (it will not decrease it).
