The Ruling on Masturbation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He saysThe questioner : What is the ruling on masturbation?
The Shaykh : We have also spoken about this ruling, and the answer is: Imam al-Shafi'i said, and we agree with him in his argumentation, citing the words of the Exalted in His description of the believers:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-7]; this is an explicit text that it is not permissible for a Muslim to direct his desire except through one of these two paths, or through both of them together: marriage and concubinage. Anything other than that is aggression and injustice for the one who does it, meaning injustice to his own self, meaning: those who transgress and are unjust to themselves.
The Shaykh : We have also spoken about this ruling, and the answer is: Imam al-Shafi'i said, and we agree with him in his argumentation, citing the words of the Exalted in His description of the believers:
(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادونBut whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors
فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون
