Assalamu'alaikum Falcon,

When you do Ghusl once, then you need not repeat it.

I will quote what Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (Rahimahullah) said about this:

The words “if something comes out after that, he does not have to do (ghusl) again” mean: if he does ghusl for this emission of semen, then some more comes out when he starts to move about, then he does not have to repeat ghusl. The evidence for that is as follows:

1 – The reason is one and the same, so two ghusls are not required.

2 – When it comes out after that, it is not accompanied by feelings of pleasure. And ghusl is only required if it comes out with feelings of pleasure.

But if semen is emitted anew with feelings of desire, then ghusl is required as a result of this new reason.

From al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 1/281

  2. Salam'alaykum,

    Ghusl is not necessary but wudhu is necessary when few semen comes out without feelings or desire.

  3. brothers/sisters salam please help me when i do ghusl at the end i leave the feet for last do u have to put on cloths then wash the feet or u can do it without cloths because thats what i did and also if water touches your feet during ghusl is this invalid please respond and answer these questions please!

  4. brother wael i know how to do ghusl but im asking if i have to wash my foot naked or with cloths on.i washed my foot without cloths so is my ghusl incorrect invalid? thats what i mean.

    • Your question is quite confusing considering one has to remove clothes to take shower/ghusl. In case of ghusl, all body parts must be properly washed (running water over them) and you must not have anything covering your feet or any other part for that matter.

      Hope that helps, if you have further question; please sign in and write your question as separate post and it will be published on it's turn iA.
