Does a Wife Need Ghusl if Her Husband's Semen Touches Her Body?
Question
So that this question is inappropriate so let say a man wanted to get intimate with his wife but she was doing something very important at the time and she can't drop it to satisfy him so she decides to rub him off. Does she need to perform ghusl if his semen touches her body even though she did not ejaculate
Islamic Ruling & Answer
No, in this situation ghusl is not obligatory on the woman.
Because neither intercourse occurred nor did she experience ejaculation, and merely the husbandโs semen touching her body does not make ghusl necessary.
However, the area where the semen has come into contact must be washed.
