Question

Assalamualaikum,

I wanted to ask if the fast breaks if drops of semen come out? this was unintentionally for a man and not touching the private parts.

Jazakhalah khair

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh.

The fast will not be nullified in the above mentioned situation.[1]
