Janaba is a result of discharging semen or sexual intercourse that involves penetration. The person who is in this state is called "Junub."

Some rulings about Janaba are mentioned in the Qur’an (4:43 - 5:6). There are about 400 hadiths presenting detailed rulings about Janaba.  
 
In hadiths, it is also defined as spiritual impurity. Therefore, it is narrated in hadiths that Junub should not be present at Muhtadar’s (one who is dying) bed or people should not perform Salat in a room in which there is a Junub, or a Junub should not sleep in this state as during the sleep the soul is presented before God with this spiritual impurity. This impurity is removed by performing Ghusl al-Janaba.

Two acts cause janaba: ejaculation and penetration.


===1- Ejaculation===
===Ejaculation===
Ejaculation causes Janaba whether it is accompanied by lust, force and weakness of the body or not, from man or woman, asleep or awake. Needless to say, the movement of semen inside the body without emission does not cause Janaba.

====Ejaculation while Sleeping (Ihtilam)====
====Ejaculation while Sleeping (Ihtilam)====
Seminal discharge during sleep is called Ihtilam. This seldom occurs for women. Whether Ihtilam is accompanied by an erotic dream or not, if one finds wetness on one’s clothes after waking up and is certain that it is semen, one is Junub.
Seminal discharge during sleep is called [[ihtilam]]. This seldom occurs for women. Whether ihtilam is accompanied by an erotic dream or not, if one finds wetness on one's clothes after waking up and is certain that it is semen, one is junub.  
If a man cannot ascertain whether his emission (during sleep or while awake) is semen or not, it is treated as semen provided it is accompanied by slut, force and weakness of the body. However, there is disagreement among Faqihs whether the ruling is subject to all three aforementioned signs or some of them will suffice.  In the sick, the two signs of slut and weakness of the body is sufficient for the ruling.
It is noteworthy, that there is disagreement among Faqihs about women discharge with slut.  


===2- Penetration===
If a man cannot ascertain whether his emission (during sleep or while awake) is semen or not, it is treated as semen provided it is accompanied by lust, force, and weakness of the body. However, there is disagreement among faqihs whether the ruling is subject to all three aforementioned signs or some of them will suffice. In the sick, the two signs of lust and weakness of the body is sufficient for the ruling.
If a male organ penetrates the female organ up to the circumcision point (glans) both of them enter the state of Janaba, whether they are adults (Baligh) or not, sane or not, asleep or awake. Most Faqihs issue that anal penetration (man or woman) also cause Janaba.

==Ghusl of Janaba==
==Ghusl al-Janaba==
It is recommended (Mustahab) for Junub to perform Ghusl al-Janaba as soon as possible, so that the spiritual impurity is removed. However, this Ghusl becomes Wajib (compulsory) for performing religious acts that are subject to Tahara (purification), such as: Salat, Tawaf, Sawm in the month of Ramadan. Ghusl al-Janaba is invalid for one who is not in the state of Janaba. The method, rulings and conditions of Ghusl al-Janaba is similar to other compulsory and recommended Ghusl except that Ghusl of Janaba will suffice for Wudu unless one does something that invalidates Wudu.
