Masturbation

Question

Whilst I was doing some work, I got aroused. I tried to ignore it but I was feeling overpowered. I held my private parts and squeezed my legs trying to kill the feelings but it made it worse. I was sitting and trying to ignore it but I ejaculated unintentionally. Am I sinful for this action?

Answer

Make taubah so that the doubt is cleared from your mind.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
