No, you cannot pray namaz immediately after ejaculating. One must first perform ghusl (full-body ritual purification). This involves washing your entire body, starting with the intention (niyyah), washing both hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, ears, neck, and feet. Only after completing ghusl, can one perform namaz. Ghusl ensures you are in a state of physical purity required for prayers.
