Masturbation is forbidden. If it occurs during sleep, there is no sin upon the person doing it, for the pen is lifted from the sleeper until he awakens. If it results in the emission of semen, then (ritual bath) is obligatory; otherwise, it is not. As for its health effects, doctors should be consulted about that.
