Question:
What is the ruling on performing the secret habit?

Answer:
Performing the secret habit is a reprehensible act that is not permissible. Masturbation with the hand is a type of unlawful sexual intercourse; it is not permissible. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
And they who guard their private partsوَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ۝
[Al-Mu'minun 23:5]
except with their wives or those their right hands possess, for they are not to be blamed. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors [Al-Mu’minun: 5-7]. Thus, He made the one who seeks other than a wife or a slave-girl a "transgressor," meaning an oppressor.
It has harms. This secret habit has many harms that the scholars have mentioned; it has many harms. Therefore, it is obligatory to guard against it.
