Abrogated Laws: Uncleanliness of Semen

Bahá’u’lláh

Uncleanliness of Semen

God hath decreed, in token of His mercy unto His creatures, that semen is not unclean.

(The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, The Most Holy Book, Bahá’u’lláh, para. 74)

In a number of religious traditions and in Shí‘ah Muslim practice semen has been declared ritually unclean. Bahá’u’lláh has here dispelled this concept. See also note below.

(The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, The Most Holy Book, Notes NO. 103)
