Sperm discharging without desire does not necessitate Ghusl

Question

What is the ruling on ejaculating without any reason, does it necessitate Ghusl (ritual bath)?

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.

If a man ejaculates drops of sperm without any desire he is not obliged to perform Ghusl (ritual bath) according to the majority of the scholars may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them. However, the Shaafi’ee school and the scholars who are of their view, are of the opinion that it necessitates Ghusl. Nonetheless, the most preponderant opinion is the view of the majority of the scholars may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them.
