Does the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhy) – without semen or arousal – constitute a breach of an oath after swearing to abandon masturbation, especially given the inability to expiate the oath?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If "I do not perform masturbation" means not discharging semen, then the discharge of prostatic fluid () is not considered a breach of the oath, whereas the discharge of semen (mani) is considered a breach. Masturbation is forbidden, so one must repent to Allah from it and not return to it.
