Question

How do I stop nocturnal emissions?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Nocturnal emission (wet dream) could either be natural or it could be due to ones wrong doings. One should abstain from all these things that lead to nocturnal emission. For example stay away from:

1. Intermingling with the opposite gender.

2. Reading immoral articles.

3. Pornographic sites and magazines.

If nocturnal emission is natural and excessive, the following methods may be useful in controlling it:

1) Manage ones diet.

2) Take a bath before going to bed.

3) Drink a cup of herbal tea before going to sleep.

4) Take a mixture of celery juice and honey before going to sleep.

5) You may consult your physician.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
