Excreting semen without intention

Question: My complaint is that I excrete semen during the days of Ramadhaan without having a wet dream or masturbating so does this affect my fast? Please advise me. May Allaah reward you.

Response: If the situation is as mentioned, then the excreting of semen from yourself without desire, during the day in Ramadhaan, does not affect your fast and you don't have to make up that fast.

And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
