I like to exercise and play sports to be in good health. However, when I do core exercises, I often experience ejaculation. This makes uncomfortable because then I have to do ghusl before I can continue going about my day. I do core exercises less frequently now but still experience it. Since it’s feeling similar to intercourse (I assume), I feel bad continuing. Would this be considered masturbation (and therefore be haram)? Do you have any advice on navigating this situation?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Experiencing ejaculation or fluid release during intense physical activity, especially core exercises, can happen due to pressure on the pelvic region. However, it’s important to clarify what type of fluid is being released:\\n\\nIf the fluid is manī (semen), which is typically released with a sense of climax, then ghusl is required.\"},{\"attributes\":{\"list\":\"bullet\"},\"insert\":\"\\n\"},{\"insert\":\"If it is wadī (a fluid released due to physical exertion or strain), then only cleaning the area and performing wudhu is required. Ghusl is not needed.\"},{\"attributes\":{\"list\":\"bullet\"},\"insert\":\"\\n\"},{\"insert\":\"\\nFrom what you’ve described, it’s more likely that this is wadī rather than manī, especially since it occurs during exercise and not as a result of sexual stimulation. This situation is not considered masturbation at all, nor is it haram. You can continue exercising without worry.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327bd","tag":"Tahara: Impurities and Invalidators","count":52},{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232995","tag":"Men: Sexual Health","count":25},{"_id":"696530653e4fd26d8f9b39c1","tag":"Contemporary Life: Games & Sports","count":18}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T01:43:26.847Z"}
