Is Masturbation Permissible In Islam? Islamic View by ALISMILE(m): 9:04am On Sep 01, 2015
IS MASTURBATION HARRAM?
Masturbation (for both men and women) is
haraam (forbidden) in Islam based on the
following evidence:
First from the Qur’aan:
Imam Shafi’i stated that masturbation is
forbidden based on the following verses from
the Qur’aan:
"And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private
parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their
wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right
hands possess, - for them, they are free from
blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then
those are the transgressors." [Quran 23.5-7]
Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal
sexual acts (including masturbation) except for
the wives or that their right hand possess. And
whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor.
"And let those who find not the financial means
for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah
enriches them of His bounty." [Quran 24.33.]
This verse also clearly orders whoever does not
have the financial means to marry to keep
himself chaste and be patient in facing
temptations (including masturbation) until Allah
enriches them of His bounty.
Secondly, from the sunnah of the
Prophet (peace be upon him):
Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood said, "We were with the
Prophet while we were young and had no wealth
whatsoever. So Allaah’s Messenger said, "O
young people! Whoever among you can marry,
should marry,
because it helps him lower his gaze and guard
his modesty (i.e. his private parts from
committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and
whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as
fasting diminishes his sexual power."
Bukhari:5066.
The hadeeth orders men who are not able to
marry to fast despite the hardship encountered
in doing so, and not to masturbate despite the
ease with which it can be done.
There are additional evidences that can be cited
to support this ruling on masturbation, but due
to the limited space we will not go through them
here. Allaah knows what is best and most
correct.
As for curing the habit of masturbation, we
recommend the following suggestions:
1) The motive to seek a cure for this problem
should be solely following Allaah’s orders and
fearing His punishment.
2) A permanent and quick cure from this
problem lies in marriage as soon as the person
is able, as shown in the Prophet’s hadeeth.
3) Keeping oneself busy with what is good for
this world and the hereafter is essential in
breaking this habit before it becomes second
nature after which it is very difficult to rid
oneself of it.
4) Lowering the gaze (from looking at forbidden
things such as pictures, movies etc.) will help
suppress the desire before it leads one to
commit the haraam (forbidden).
Allaah orders men and women to lower their
gaze as shown in the following two verses and in
the Prophet’s hadeeth
(interpretations of the meanings):
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from
looking at forbidden things) and protect their
private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That
is purer for them. Verily, Allah is all-aware of
what they do. And tell the believing women to
lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden
things) and protect their private parts (from
illegal sexual acts, etc.) ..... " [Qur'an 24.30-31]
Allaah’s messenger said: "Do not follow a casual
(unintentional) look (at forbidden things) with
another look."
Al-Tirmidhi 2777.
This is a general instruction by the Prophet to
abstain from all that may sexually excite a
person because it might lead him/her to commit
the haraam (forbidden).
5) Using one’s available leisure time in
worshipping Allaah and increasing religious
knowledge.
6) Being cautious not to develop any of the
medical symptoms that may result from
masturbation such as weak eyesight, weak
nervous system, and/or back pain. More
importantly, feeling of guilt and anxiety that can
be complicated by missing obligatory prayers
because of the need to shower (ghusl) after
every incidence of masturbation.
7) Avoiding the illusion that some youth have
that masturbation is permissible because it
prevents them from committing illegal sexual
acts such as fornication or even homosexuality.
cool Strengthening one’s willpower and avoiding
spending time alone as recommended by the
Prophet when he said "Do not spend the night
alone" Ahmad 6919.
9) Following the Prophet’s
aforementioned hadeeth and fast
when possible, because fasting will temper one’s
sexual desire and keep it under control.
However, one should not overreact and swear
by Allaah not to return to the act because if one
does not honor one’s promise, one would be
facing the consequences of not living up to one’s
oath to Allaah.
Also, note that medication to diminish one’s
sexual desire is strictly prohibited because it
might permanently affect one’s sexual ability.
Allah knows the Best.

So God is not interested on matters heavily affecting humanity.
He cannot call his Jihading cohorts to order or at least lay out orders to them in the Quran since God is confined only to the pages of a book.

God is not interested in children being beheaded daily, Girls raped, maimed and destroyed by his warring followers who are busy wreaking havoc on planet earth and causing untold suffering, mutilating the peace earth yearns for.

No God is not interested in these but is busy interested in what people do with their own private parts. . . .Pervert!!!
