Feeling pleasure with water pressure when washing one's private area
Question
After urinating, when rinsing the private area with the hand shower, the pressure of water is satisfying sometimes. I get really aroused. Is this counted as masturbation? Do I have to perform a ghusl?
Answer
You should refrain from this action if it is causing you to become aroused. However, ghusl will not become compulsory if semen was not released.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
