The Ruling on Masturbation
Question:
What is the ruling on Masturbation?
Answer:
It is incumbent upon every Muslim to avoid masturbation, because practicing it is in contradiction to the Words of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful: And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hand possess, for then, they are free from blame, But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors.[1] - And due to the many harmful effects of masturbation. And Allah is the Granter of success. 1. Al-Mu'minun 5-6-7
