The answer

The Hajj is not invalidated by seminal emission (inzal) resulting merely from thought, and no expiatory offering (fidyah) is required according to the majority of scholars (Hanafis, Shafi'is, and Hanbalis), and this is the most preponderant opinion. As for the Malikis, they hold that Hajj is invalidated if seminal emission occurs due to sustained looking or thought before throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah, and a sacrificial offering (hady) becomes obligatory if it results merely from thought or looking. However, after throwing the Jamrah, Hajj is not invalidated, but a fidyah becomes obligatory.
