Question
Sometimes while I am sitting on the toilet, I ejaculate a little sperm, which come out as a result of pressing out excrement. After realizing this, I get out the rest of sperm by masturbation, knowing that, if I don’t do this, I will all the time have problems in Wudu; because, some water like sperm comes out. Is what I am doing alright?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
What comes out of a male’s penis is either sperm, or pre-seminal fluid or Wadi, a white liquid (like water). Each of these have its own ruling and characteristic. The sperm is a sticky fluid which flows out from the penis with strength and with lust, and its smell is like the smell of paste, so if this flows out with strength and with desire, then one has to make Ghusl.
The pre-seminal fluid is also a sticky liquid but it is softer than the sperm. It usually comes out after one’s desires have been stimulated and it usually flows out in a discontinuous manner.
As for the Wadi, it is a white coagulated liquid, it usually comes out after urinating.
We think that what you consider as sperm is only a pre-seminal fluid. Anyway, if what comes out of your sex organ is sperm, and flows out without a desire and not with strength, then it is not obligatory to make Ghusl for that according to the majority of scholars, and it is obligatory to have Wudu only, like in case of the Wadhi and pre-seminal liquid.
As for masturbation you are resorting to, it is Haram. The excuses that you are presenting are only the tricks of Satan to make you fall into what is forbidden to you.
If that comes out of your sex organ again, it is enough to wash and clean it out, then have Wudu. If it comes out again, and you become certain about that, then you have to make Wudu again.
Allah knows best.
