Experiencing a discharge after Ghusl
Question
After sexual intercourse, I take ghusl and after a while, I feel some discharge emerging. Do I need to urinate and then wash, or just wash without urinating?
Answer
If after intercourse, one slept, relieved himself, or walked around, and thereafter experiences a discharge after taking Ghusl, then there is no need to renew the Ghusl for the second time. In this instance, the discharge should be washed off and the Wudhu renewed. Yes, if he took Ghusl immediately after intercourse without doing any of the above (i.e. sleeping, relieving oneself or walking around), then Ghusl will be obligatory for the second time.
