Does it count as masturbation

Question

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Respected Mufti saheb I’ve got a question: while I was exercising today I felt heat building up in my lower body but I continued to exercise. Then I experienced ejaculation. It might have been because of my private part rubbing against my inner wear. Would this be counted as masturbation?

Thanks

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

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

It will not count as masturbation. Perhaps for the future you should reconsider the type of clothing to wear when exercising in order to avoid a repeat of this scenario.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
