Does a woman need to wait for a certain period after sexual intercourse with her husband—before performing Ghusl—to ensure that any discharge has exited her body? And if she performs Ghusl and then believes or suspects that some discharge that came out afterward is her husband’s semen, must she repeat the Ghusl?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if she believes that the discharge is from her husband’s semen, she only needs to wash the affected area; it is not required to repeat the full Ghusl of Janābah. Allah knows best.
