Chapter of Ghusl: Its Causes and Description - Dry Orgasm (Cause No. 2)

-If a person has an orgasm but doesn’t ejaculate then Ghusl is Waajib upon him regardless. Uthaymeen explains that there are two opinions. 

This is the opinion of the Hanbalees – that "dry orgasm" carries the same ruling as ejaculation because biologically, it is possible for a person to orgasm without ejaculating. The sign of this is when persons' desires are cut or reduced because of this.

An example given by the scholars is that if a person suddenly holds his genitals during intercourse so that semen doesn’t ejaculate. In this case, Ghusl is still Waajib upon him.

The other opinion, that of Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and others from the scholars, stated that Ghusl is not Waajib upon him and this is the correct opinion with Uthaymeen. Their evidences are as follows:

1-The Hadeeth of Umm Sulaym [may Allaah be Pleased with her] where a woman asked the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] about erotic dreams and whether she needs to have Ghusl after, to which he replied, "Yes, if she sees fluid." [Reported by al-Bukhaaree (130) and Muslim (310)]

The point here is that feelings don’t carry the same ruling of physical ejaculation. If that had been the case, the Prophet wouldn’t have specified seeing fluid.

2- The Hadeeth of Aboo Sa'eed al-Khudree [may Allaah be Pleased with him] in which the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, "Water (bathing) is for water (semen)" [Reported by Muslim (343)]

The point here is that bathing becomes obligatory when the semen (Maniy) is physically ejaculated, otherwise not.


3-There is no proof for obligating Ghusl for "dry orgasms".
