Sunan Nasai 295 — When Semen Gets On Clothes

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُجَامِعُ فِيهِ ؟ قَالَتْ : " نَعَمْ ، إِذَا لَمْ يَرَ فِيهِ أَذًى " .
´It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan that he asked Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ):` "Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray in a garment in which he had had intercourse?" She said: "Yes, so long as he saw no filth on it."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
295. Commentary: By impurity is meant the presence of semen, blood, or similar substances. If such impurity is present, then washing the affected area is sufficient; otherwise, it is permissible to pray in that garment as it is, because in the absence of impurity, it remains pure.

(1)
From this it is understood that it is not necessary to have a separate garment for marital relations.

(2)
Due to the state of major ritual impurity (janabah), the garment that is worn on the body during sexual intercourse does not become impure. However, if something gets onto the clothes, then wash that part of the garment and perform the prayer; otherwise, there is no need to wash it.
