Retrograde ejaculation

· 27 Rabiʻ I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Because of medication, I experience retrograde ejaculation. When I reach an orgasm during sleep (due to a dream), nothing comes out, since the sperm is redirected to the urinary bladder and comes out later, with the urine. Does such a "wet dream" necessitate ghusl even though it isn't wet in my case?

Answer

If nothing had come out, ghusal will not be compulsory.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
