Bodily discharges render persons unclean and convey uncleanness through contact with the affected person, their bed, or their seat. Male discharges, whether chronic flows or seminal emissions, and female menstruation and irregular bleeding follow similar patterns of uncleanness and purification. Cleansing requires washing, waiting until evening or seven days depending on the condition, and specified offerings to make atonement for the discharge.
