    Ghusul or ceremonial bath is required before salat in the following instances:

    1. Ejaculation through sexual intercourse or otherwise. This can happen while awake or in sleep.

    2. Menstruation or puerperal discharge.

    Urination doesn’t require ghusul. Also if there is a small involuntary discharge after urination it doesn’t require ghusl.

    Thanks @faisalharoon … but need little more clarification

    Regarding 1 …

    So, merely a discharge of semen requires a ghusl? What if it’s just a small involuntary discharge (few drops) e.g. due to a sexual desire- psychological arousal

      If there is a small involuntary discharge it’s not considered an ejaculation. How small is considered small is for the individual to decide keeping in mind that cleanliness is required.
