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?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If "I do not perform masturbation" means not discharging semen, then the discharge of prostatic fluid (madhy) 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.
