Purity: Tayammum After Unclear Sleep Discharge When Short on Time
English:
Question #204:
Someone had a discharge during sleep and on waking up he does not remember anything but finds wetness on his clothes. There is no time for him to sit and try to remember, for there is little time remaining to offer the morning prayer. What is one to do in such a state? How is he to make the intent for tayammum as substitution for the ghusl? What is the basic rule?
Answer #204:
If one knows that there was discharge of semen, he is junub and, thus, ghusl is obligatory for him. If the time is short, he must do tayammum after cleaning his body from najāsah, pray, and do ghusl afterwars. But when there is doubt concerning discharge of semen and janābah, the rule of being in a state of janābah does not apply to him.
