Note 308 — ABU AL-HUSN AND HIS SLAVE-GIRL TAWADDUD.[281]
Richard Francis Burton translation
Complete ablution is rendered necessary chiefly by the emission of semen either in copulation or in nocturnal pollution. The water must be pure and not less than a certain quantity, and it must touch every part of the skin beginning with the right half of the person and ending with the left. Hence a plunge-bath is generally preferred.
