The Ruling on the Secret Habit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man with a strong habit, and I heard Abu Dawud give a ruling on it, and there is some prohibition involved, so what is the ruling on this matter?
Answer:
The permissibility of it is incorrect; this is one of the erroneous fatwas. The secret habit is not permissible; it is forbidden. This is because Allah said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6] It is not permissible to satisfy one’s desire except with one’s wife or one’s right hand possesses, which is the slave woman. It is permissible for her master to have relations with her. However, the marriage of the hand and the marriage of anyone other than the wife or one’s right hand possesses—Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: “And whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors who transgress the limits of Allah.” So the secret habit is not permissible, and the one who issued the fatwa to you was mistaken. Yes.

(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ
