| Question ID 1002 - Major Sins - 2014-01-04 09:45:01 |
| Salaam Alaykum Syeddina, I am a young 22 years old adult (male) and since I was a teenager I was masturbating and still continue to masturbate. Alhamdulilah some times I can control it but very rarely I can't control it and I masturbate. The reason behind masturbating is that I look at people (women) with lust and I am afraid of getting into Zinah. I know this act is not permissible or haraam, but I have no choice other than this. I can't get married as I haven't got sufficient money to get married. So instead of looking at women with lust and afraid of committing zina, So my question are 1) am I allowed to masturbate under these circumstances? and 2) is masturbation haraam or not permissible? Once I masturbate I feel very calm and normal. I follow the maraja of Ayatullah Sistani. |

Answer:- Masturbation is a major sin in Islam and there is nothing to change this
rule. You must stop committing this sin immediately and seek forgiveness
for the past sins. You must avoid looking at sexual seems or reading or
listening to things which may cause you sexual urge, and you need to
remember the Paradise which is for the pious who control over their desires
and do not commit sins, and remember the Hellfire which for the sinners who
follow their sinful desires.
The Hadeeth says that the person who masturbates will come on the Day of
Judgement with his hand enlarged like a mountain and will be degraded in
front of all people then will be sent to Hellfire. The person who refuses
the evil desire of masturbation and controls over himself, will granted
with peace of mind in this life , which much more that the lust of
masurbation, beside the great reward in Paradise with the pious followers
of Ahlul Bayt (AS).
Wassalam.
