Can you still pray after you masturbate? Or do you need to take a shower?
If the masturbation involves ejaculation (whether you are male or female), then performing ghusl becomes obligatory. You cannot pray until you perform ghusl.
But if there is no ejaculation, then a person can pray without performing ghusl.
Follow-up question: for the females (yes there are females who masturbate), does reaching climax or orgasm the same as ejaculating? Like, if one reaching climax, but no ejaculation, does she has to perform ghusl afterwards? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. According to the Qatari Fatwa Authority, orgasm itself does not necessitate ghusl if no manī is ejaculated by the man or woman. For more on a woman’s manī please see this previous answer.
There is, however, something called retrograde ejaculation, where the ejaculation takes place but does not come out immediately. For example if an hour or more later the person urinates and finds some ejaculate in their urine, then the ejaculation has taken place. In such a case, I believe that ghusl is necessary even though no ejaculation took place during the orgasm.
Source on ghusl not being necessary if a woman orgasms without ejaculation during masturbation:
- Fatwa from the Qatari Fatwa Authority (Arabic PDF)

I have heard that u become kafir if u dont ghusl after masturbate and I’m very worried about it, is that true?
This make no sense. Sperm is not impure, sis te blessing for mankind, is the white water that creates life thanks to Allah. Furthermorr the wife of the prophet clean a cloth with semen and the prophet then pray on to it, with no mention of ablution impurity ghusl or nothing. Just prayed like if it was just water or organge juice. So… I do not know who invented fatwa, which scholar did what, but hadith and quran i thik is above all. I’m mistaken? Please answer. Thankssss. PbuuAll.
If you ejaculate sperm then you will have to take ghusl, doesn’t matter if it happened during sleep or whatever, ghusl is mandatory. And the cloth you were wearing before semen ejaculation doesn’t need to be washed, that’s what happened in those hadith you mentioned. Semen isn’t impure it’s just you have to take ghusl if ejaculation happened. You become impure because of the ejaculation, not because of sperm.
I didnt know after masturbation we should bath… I used to do masturbation and pray.. Do allah accept mine?
