A question about masturbation.

The questioner : Who is speaking?

The Shaykh : It is me.

The questioner : We need Nasser.

The Shaykh : He is with you.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Peace before speech.

The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : O Shaykh, we need to seek your ruling on a matter.

The Shaykh : Please.

The questioner : We came from the south.

The Shaykh : And what do you mean by the south?

The questioner : From the south, from Jordan. I am a young man, like you say, like the young people, meaning desires and what desires are, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve us and you.

The questioner : Amen, O Shaykh.

The questioner : So, what is it? It has become frequent among us; one does it in the bathroom, the habit that is widespread among young people. Do you hear me, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I hear you, but I do not understand you.

The questioner : What should we say to you...

The Shaykh : And do I know what you are saying?

The questioner : Do you hear me?

The Shaykh : I hear you, but I do not understand you.

The questioner : Our Shaykh is asking about masturbation.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : The emission of semen.

The Shaykh : Do you not know how to say the secret habit? Do you not know how to say masturbation?

The questioner : I mean, one asks in the bathroom, like you say, he holds his penis, you see, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Do you not know, O Shaykh, to say masturbation?

The questioner : I mean, he holds his penis, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : O Shaykh, do you not know how to say masturbation?

The questioner : What is masturbation?

The Shaykh : If you go learn the Arabic language, then ask in the Arabic language, may Allah forgive you.
