The Ruling on Masturbation by Hand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And as for the one who sees that he intends to listen to this out of showing off (riya'), should he retract, or is it his negligence?
Answer:
It is forbidden to seek sexual gratification by hand; it is forbidden. The one who says it is merely disliked has no evidence for that, for it is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6] Thus, the permissibility is restricted to wives or those whom the right hand possesses. Seeking sexual gratification by hand is not included in that; it is neither from those whom the right hand possesses nor from a wife. He, Exalted and Majestic is He, counted it among transgression. So whoever seeks beyond that, meaning other than a wife or those whom the right hand possesses, those are the transgressors.

Answer:
It is forbidden to seek sexual gratification by hand; it is forbidden. The one who says it is merely disliked has no evidence for that, for it is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:
(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
