Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or touching, or masturbation.
Answer:
Or masturbation. What is masturbation? Masturbation. It is when a man stimulates his penis until the semen is released. This is masturbation, and they call it the secret habit. This is forbidden, forbidden for the fasting person and for others.
Because Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6] and masturbation is not among the ways of enjoying one’s wife or one’s slave. [Al-Mu'minun 23:7]. So if a man seeks to release his desire by means other than his wife or his slave, he is transgressing, and transgression is forbidden. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. Masturbation is not permissible.
It is not permissible for a person to masturbate, which is what is called the secret habit. In it are medical diseases that the jurists mentioned. They stated that if he masturbates, he is afflicted with a disease in his penis and in the passages of urine and semen; he is afflicted in that. So in addition to it being forbidden, it has harm to his body.
So the secret habit is absolutely forbidden for the fasting person and for others. But if the fasting person does it, his fast is invalidated. Because he extracted his desire by his own cause. It is a type of enjoyment. It is a type of enjoyment. Masturbation is a type of enjoyment. And the fasting person is prohibited from sexual desires. Yes.
