    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 362/148/L=1433) (1) One does not become impure by touching nijasah (semen, ovum, blood etc), so one is not required to have bath. However it is necessary to wash the part of hand that is smeared with nijasah. (2) One does not become impure by inserting his finger in the vagina of one's wife and it is not necessary as well to have bath.
