Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
This ruling applies in the case when the semen (madhiy) is so thick that, upon drying, it can be removed by rubbing. If it is thin, then it permeates the fabric and leaves a stain. In that case, it is not cleaned by rubbing. In such a situation, it is appropriate that the affected part of the garment be washed so that cleanliness is achieved.
