It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When a man sits between the four limbs of his wife and then exerts himself (according to one narration, then causes her [the wife] to exert herself), then ghusl becomes obligatory, whether ejaculation occurs or not.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I want to ask you a question, though I also feel shy before you. She said: Ask your question and do not feel shy, I am your mother. Then he asked about a man who has intercourse with his wife but does not ejaculate. She replied that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part, then ghusl becomes obligatory.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the circumcised part passes beyond the circumcised part (i.e., enters inside), then ghusl becomes obligatory.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) these questions: What makes ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory, what is the ruling regarding the white drops that come after urination, the ruling of praying at home and in the mosque, and eating and drinking with a menstruating woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah does not shy away from the truth. As for my case, when I do such and such (he mentioned ghusl), then I perform the ablution for prayer, wash my private part, and then perform ghusl. As for the drops that come after urination, this is madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), and every male experiences madhiy; because of it, I wash my private part and perform ablution. As for praying at home and in the mosque, you see that my house is very close to my mosque, but I prefer to pray in my house more than in the mosque, except for the obligatory prayer. And as for eating and drinking with a menstruating woman, I eat and drink with such a wife.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a person who finds wetness of semen but does not remember having a wet dream. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He should perform ghusl (ritual bath). Then he was asked about a person who thinks he had a wet dream but does not find any wetness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no ghusl upon him. Sayyida Umm Sulaym (RA) said: If a woman has a similar dream, is the ruling the same for her? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, women are like men.

Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), was her neighbor and she used to visit her. One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house and Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this: if a woman sees in a dream that her husband is having intercourse with her, should she perform ghusl (ritual bath)? Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: May your hands be soiled, O Umm Sulaym! You have disgraced women in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Indeed, Allah does not shy away from the truth, and if we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about our doubts, it is better than that we remain ignorant and blind about them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): Rather, may your hands be soiled! Yes, Umm Sulaym, when such a woman feels the discharge of semen, then ghusl is obligatory upon her. Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Does a woman also have discharge? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then how does her child resemble her? In this matter, women are like men.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyida Umm Sulaim, the wife of Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), said: O Messenger of Allah! If a woman sees in a dream that her husband is having intercourse with her, does she have to perform ghusl (ritual bath)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, when she sees the discharge of semen. Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Does a woman also have discharge? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May your right hand be dusted! The resemblance of the child to the maternal uncles is due to this discharge of the woman; whichever of the two fluids precedes towards the womb, that one prevails in resemblance. In the narration of Hajjaj, it is: May your forehead be dusted.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (RA) that Sayyida Umm Sulaym (RA) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, Allah does not shy away from the truth, so if a woman experiences a wet dream, is ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory upon her? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes, when she sees water (semen).

(Third chain) Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about a woman who sees in a dream what men see. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When she sees water, she should perform ghusl (ritual bath). I said: You have disgraced women; does a woman also have a wet dream? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May your right hand be dusted! Then how does the child resemble her?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the mother of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), said: O Messenger of Allah! That which a man sees in a dream, if a woman sees the same, then what? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When she sees this and experiences ejaculation, then she should perform ghusl (ritual bath).
