Human semen is ruled pure according to the most authentic view in the Shafi'i school, so clothing stained with it may be worn for prayer. It is nevertheless recommended to wash the garment first until no trace remains. The purpose is to avoid the disagreement of scholars who consider semen impure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum air mani adalah suci, namun pakaian yang terkena air mani disunatkan untuk dibasuh terlebih dahulu sehingga tidak meninggalkan kesannya sebelum dipakai untuk menunaikan ibadah solat.
