Semen retention
Question
Is semen retention (meaning after going to wife and not releasing semen) permissible? This is a meditative art to control the mind and body. I want to ask you that if I do not release semen or sperm after intercourse for 4 to 8 days? I don't do this for birth control but just for maintaining energy in my body. Is it permissible to do so?
Answer
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
