Erection does not invalidate ablution

Question

I am forty years of age and I am married. I am a practising Muslim. I suffer from too much erection but without any Mathi (pre-seminal fluid) or any other discharges. Does this invalidate ablution? It should be noted that I preserve my ablution so that I could perform the prayer at work on time as it is difficult to perform ablution at work. Sometimes I get an erection even while praying, does this invalidate my prayer as well?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Erection is not one of the nullifiers of ablution, and your previous ablution is valid.

Allaah Knows best.
