This thread is in regards to the book "MInhaj Al-Muslim" By Abu Bakr Jabir Al-Jaza'iry, in which Darusalam Publishers have published and distributed. As i was reading this book, i came across the following information, quoted below.

"The explanation of filth (Najasah)

Filth refers to stool, urine, prostatic fluid, a discharge from the urethra and sperm......

However, there seems to be a mistake, in referice to sperm (maniy) being naajis. i would like you to read the following fatwa, which states that sperm (maniy) is taahir (pure).
"Maniy is taahir according to the most correct opinion among the scholars. The evidence for this is the report of 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to wash the maniy (from his clothes) then go out to pray wearing the same clothes, and I could see the spot where he had washed it." (Agreed upon)."

if anyone can get i contact with the publishers for me, that would be much appreciated. i have tried, but hteor email does not seem to be working.

i just thought that if anyone who plans/has/is reading this book, that the above info would be useful.
jazakallahu khair.

Wa alaikum Salamcould it be a difference of opinion instead?

wa salam

well, judging by the amount of evidence, than yes, i stick to my original comment.
