The questioner : The brother here says: What is the ruling on masturbation in Islam?
The Shaykh : Masturbation is forbidden by the text of the Qur'an,[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-7], meaning: those who are transgressors and wrongdoers. Naturally, everyone knows that masturbation is neither marriage nor concubinage.
The Shaykh : Masturbation is forbidden by the text of the Qur'an,
(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 -
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ العَادُونَ
