In an Arabic language, the term janaba is the state of a very big impurity in such a way that anybody who is in the state of it should not near where an act of worship is in progress. In this post, I will discuss with you very much why you must have to perform janaba ghusl and how it should be properly performed.
Being in the state of Janaba can be caused as a result of many ways such as having intimacy with your spouse, menstruation, seminal discharge, etc. Scholars even suggest that it’s Sunnah to perform janaba ghusl if you are going to make an official worship like pilgrimage, attending Eid prayer, juma’a (congregational) prayer, etc.
When you must perform janaba ghusl
You have to perform janaba ghusl when sperm (maniy) is ejaculated accompanied by sexual pleasure either during sleep or when awake whether you are a man or woman.
Note that one of the things which make janaba ghusl to be compulsory in man and woman is the emission of sperm with normal pleasure, whether while asleep or awake.
As a muslim man, janaba ghusl is compulsory when you have pleasure without intercourse and then sperm emerges from you after the pleasure is over.
If a man has oral sex with his spouse and ejaculate semen, then performing janaba ghusl is obligatory according to Islamic sexual hygienical jurisprudence. However, if he only releases madhiy (pre-ejaculatory fluids) then wuḍū (ablution) alone is required.
