I had an ejaculation while being in a state of passive sleeping which is state where one is dreaming but he is aware of it. Will this break my fast as I felt I had control over myself in this dream and with the ejaculation?

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

Answer

Saaiduna Ali Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said, “there are three (persons) whose actions are not recorded: a sleeper until they awaken, a boy until he reaches puberty and an insane until they recover their mind.” (Sunan Abu Dawuud)

Keeping the aforementioned hadith in mind, ejaculating whilst in a passive sleep would not break the fast. It is similar to having a wet dream whilst fasting.

Saaiduna Abu Said Al Khudri Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said, “There are three things which do not break the fast: cupping, vomit and wet dreams.” (Sunan Tirmizi p.152 v.1)
