Masturbation for the purpose of proving one's need for marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 11101 )
Q: I am about fifty years old, and I do not have the money that would enable me to get married now. I have previously married three women, but I was not fortunate with any of them. I applied to the Minister of the Interior, and he did not treat me poorly, may Allah reward him with the best reward. After the royal order was issued to the Najran General Hospital, they formed a committee to which I was to present myself, and this was done by using one of my hands. Is it lawful or forbidden for me to do such a thing? I ask you to look into a solution for my problem. May Allah reward you with the best reward.
A: There is no blame on him for extracting semen if there is a need for it, as in the case mentioned. It is only forbidden to extract it if it is done for the sake of play or merely for pleasure.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
