If semen [maniy] comes down to the opening of the penis, but then does not come out, there is no washing required. Likewise if the semen reaches the middle of the penis, and a man is in prayer but takes hold of his penis with his hand through his clothes, and the semen does not come out until he concludes his prayer, then his prayer is valid, since he remains pure until it comes out. And the woman is like the man in this regard, except in the case that she is a formerly married woman, and the semen [maniy] comes down to her vagina and reaches the place which requires washing from sexual impurity and cleaning in general (that is, the parts that are visible when she is sitting down to fulfill her need); then it is required for her to wash, since the semen reached this location.
