Masturbating

Q: I have a question. If I had masturbated in my sleep and then it actually was happening in reality due to the sleep. I am in control of it, because I didn't intentionally want to do it? I always fear masturbation and always trying to avoid such an act.

A: If you were in control of yourself then this is a sin.

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