Frequent nocturnal emissions are not considered necessities that permit masturbation. Nocturnal emissions do not permit masturbation. Rather, masturbation was permitted by some jurists for fear of falling into zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) or out of concern for diseases. Therefore, you must repent from this act, and if you experience a nocturnal emission, you must perform (ritual bath). However, if urine is discharged during sleep, only wash the impure area.
