Am I Sinful If I Ejaculate By Mistake?
Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel
Question
I wanted to ask that I ejaculate because of my penis getting in between my thighs, even though I did not intend to do so. It happens so many times. Am I sinful?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.
You will not be sinful for this happening. This is probably due to the way you sleep. Wear some loose underwear or no underwear.
Allah Forgives Errors, Forgetfulness and Compulsion
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace) said, “Verily, Allah has overlooked for my nation their honest mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced into doing.” [Ibn Maja]
