Sometime this year I read in True love magazine(West Africa) edition on their article about mast-urbation and they wrote that mast-urbation is allowed in Islam. So is it allowed in your brand of Islam.

Mastur-bation (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 Mastur-bation is forbidden based on the following verses from the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning): "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." 23.5-7 Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal sexual acts (including Mastur-bation) 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." 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 Mastur-bation) 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 Mastur-bation despite the ease with which it can be done.

I read with my own eyes on True love(West Africa) edition that mast-urbation is allowed in Islam. I will check if that edition wasn't thrown away. It was sometime this year.

why are you so eager to know?

Hello,

I never know "mast-urbation" means azalu.

Well, you might have read where that was stated as allowed in Islam. The case is twofold: I know some "liberal" Muslims see nothing wrong in that despite the fact it's not halal.

And the secondfold: Some Muslim scholar, who are still considered "liberal" see the action as simple a descouraged one, which a Muslim/Muslimah is allowed to do once in a long period of time.

BUT both two points are not purely on the right track. The act is not allowed in Islam as aptly explained Deen4me above. May Allah reward him for the response.

Thanks

yes it is allowed

The way they wrote it in true love(West Africa) edition was as if all muslims do view mast-urbation as not being wrong.

Krakus, ehannan adinni of NL Muslims section . . . . . u no serious o. 

@Poster,
Most scholars, including Sheikh Munnajid, say it is haraam. A very few scholars say it is permissible, but I personally find more convincing the argument of those that say it's haraam for these reasons:
1, It involves imagining doing it with somebody, which is prostitution of the mind.
2, The prophet has expressly advised that whosoever cannot hold it to him/herself again should go and marry. MB, as a way of staying away from prostitution, as claimed by soem people, is therefore invalid.

Allah knows best.

@poster
ask yourself if true love magazine is a well known Islamic magazine? does it have an Islamic Precedence. who wrote the piece, is he/she a Muslim? heck does the writer even have a clue about Islam?

Thank God; you too say "as".

Couldn't "that their right hand possess" refer to mast-urbation?  Or is the meaning regarding slaves more clearly shown otherwise?  Needless to say, does this line then mean it condones sexual slavery (with one's own slaves)?

And why does this forum change the word to 'self-service'. That wouldn't be acceptable to do at a self-service gasoline stand. Self service has many other meanings, not a bad euphemism for sexual acts.

You get it now??

Azalu in Islam doesnot mean masturbation. "Azalu" in Islam means withdrawal, that is the act of withdrawing ones penis shortly before ejaculation during sexual intercourse.
