Question:
Is the use of the secret habit a form of hand zina?
Answer:
That is the apparent view. It may be done without the hand; one may use something other than the hand. The bottom line is that it is a type of forbidden zina, because it falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Mu'minun:7]. One may use things other than the hand, such as artificial objects that they use. We ask Allah for well-being.
The point is that it is forbidden and reprehensible according to the majority of scholars; it is not permissible because it falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Mu'minun:7]. Furthermore, it has many harms. It may lead its practitioner to delusion and mental weakness, and it may lead to the cessation of offspring. Some scholars of the present age have written on this, mentioning the doctors' statements regarding its many harms.
