Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is ejaculating by choice a form of disbelief in Allah? And what is its expiation?
Answer:
Disbelief in Allah? Yes, meaning he intended to masturbate with his hand. Yes, this is forbidden. This is forbidden, and it is not disbelief. It is a sin. This is a sin among the sins, and it is not disbelief. It is forbidden and not permissible, because it is seeking pleasure through means other than what Allah has made lawful, namely a wife or a slave woman. Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Mu'minun 23:6] faith [Al-Mu'minun 23:6-7] meaning those who transgress the limits of Allah the Glorious and Exalted. So it is an act of sin, and he must repent to Allah and not return to such a thing.

فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
