Question:

Did Our Mother Aisha may Allah be pleased with her used to scrape The Semen of Prophet Mohammed off the clothes, and what is the context of that, what is it for and what is it all about?

Answer:

First things first let us quote these two Authentic hadith wordings from Bukhari. Yes that is right they are Authentic hadith, let us understand the context.

Chapter: If the (traces of) Janaba (semen) or other spots are not removed completely on washing

Chapter: The washing out of semen with water and rubbing it off (when it is dry) and the washing out of what comes out of women (i.e., discharge)

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐬:

First:

This EDUCATIONAL Story took place between Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him as a husband and his wife our mother Aisha may Allah be pleased with her.

This story is to teach us Muslims about what to do in terms of religious rulings regarding cleaning, washing, and showering after having an intimate relationship with our spouse.

Obviously, the potential for some of the husband’s semen t come in contact with clothes is a possibility, which Muslim husbands and wives and Muslims in general need to learn what to do with clothes that have some traces or spots of semen. Do we have to wash all the clothes or the parts on which the semen traces or spots are? Or do nothing.
