Difference Of Opinion On Masturbation
Masturbation is against the spirit of modesty in Islam. For those who believe in Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari, following advise was given by Prophet Muhammad pbuh to guard modesty (i.e. private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَ عَلْقَمَةَ والْأَسْوَدِ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَابًا لَا نَجِدُ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ ، مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ . Sahih Bukhari – 5066 Narrated `Abdullah: We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah’s Apostle 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. ‎ میں علقمہ اور اسود ( رحمہم اللہ ) کے ساتھ عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوا، انہوں نے ہم سے کہا کہ ہم نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانہ میں نوجوان تھے اور ہمیں کوئی چیز میسر نہیں تھی۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہم سے فرمایا کہ نوجوانوں کی جماعت! تم میں جسے بھی نکاح کرنے کے لیے مالی طاقت ہو اسے نکاح کر لینا چاہئے کیونکہ یہ نظر کو نیچی رکھنے والا اور شرمگاہ کی حفاظت کرنے والا عمل ہے اور جو کوئی نکاح کی بوجہ غربت طاقت نہ رکھتا ہو اسے چاہیے کہ روزہ رکھے کیونکہ روزہ اس کی خواہشات نفسانی کو توڑ دے گا۔ http://www.theislam360.com حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِمِنًى، فَلَقِيَهُ عُثْمَانُ، فَقَامَ مَعَهُ يُحَدِّثُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَلَا نُزَوِّجُكَ جَارِيَةً شَابَّةً، لَعَلَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكَ بَعْضَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ زَمَانِكَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ، لَقَدْ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ، مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَا Sahih Muslim – 3398 Alqama reported: While I was walking with ‘Abdullah at Mina, ‘Uthman happened to meet him. He stopped there and began to talk with him. Uthman said to him: Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, should we not marry you to a young girl who may recall to you some of the past of your bygone days; thereupon he said: If you say so, Allah’s Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: 0 young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes from casting (evil glances). and preserves one from immorality; but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting for it is a means of controlling sexual desire. ابو معاویہ نے ہمیں اعمش سے خبر دی ، انہوں نے ابراہیم سے ، انہوں نے علقمہ سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : میں منیٰ میں حضرت عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کے ساتھ پیدل چل رہا تھا کہ حضرت عثمان رضی اللہ عنہ سے ان کی ملاقات ہوئی ، وہ کھڑے ہو کر ان سے باتیں کرنے لگے ۔ سیدنا عثمان رضی اللہ عنہ نے اِن سے کہا : ابوعبدالرحمٰن! کیا ہم کسی نوجوان لڑکی سے آپ کی شادی نہ کرا دیں ، شاید وہ آپ کو آپ کا وہی زمانہ یاد کرا دے جو گزر چکا ہے؟ کہا : تو حضرت عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : اگر آپ نے یہ بات کہی ہے تو ( اس سے پہلے ) رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہم سے فرمایا تھا : اے جوانوں کے گروہ! تم میں سے جو کوئی شادی کی استطاعت رکھتا ہو وہ شادی کر لے ، یہ نگاہ کو زیادہ جھکانے والی اور شرمگاہ کی زیادہ حفاظت کرنے والی ہے اور جو استطاعت نہیں رکھتا تو وہ روزے کو لازم کر لے ، یہ اس کے لیے خواہش کو قابو میں کرنے کا ذریعہ ہے۔ http://www.theislam360.com

What made you decide that Hadiths from Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari don’t provide a basis for legislation but references from Ibn e Hazam does? First of all , nothing in the Quran or hadith prohibits masturbation. Those who consider it forbidden argue from Quran verses 23:5-7. The linguistic error in understanding these verses has been clarified by Ghamidi sahab. Please see: Discussion 35351 • Reply 35355 Secondly , the confusion about why hadith does not provide a basis for legislation stems from not understanding what the nature of hadith corpus really is. I invite you to investigate this topic in a bit more detail with a sincere and an open mind. In short, hadiths mostly relate Prophet Muhammad SAW’s application of God’s law (present in the Quran and the Sunnah) in a particular situations . Since majority of hadith reports do not include context, when we take one and apply it as a general rule, a lot of times we end up with results that are exactly opposite of the Quran, the Sunnah, the hadith itself, and are even counter to reason and rationality. For example, a hadith is generally quoted about fasting in order to control sexual urges. Now imagine a soldier who is away from home for years at a stretch protecting our borders in excruciatingly cold temperatures . Or a construction worker who digs mountains in excruciatingly hot temperatures . If we advise them to fast, they will definitely die out of dehydration. Then why would Prophet SAW give people such an advise? We could only know if we knew the context. One could argue that this advise doesn’t apply to extreme conditions – but halal and haram are generic, not conditional. Exceptions can be conditional, but then again we would need evidence from God about what can be considered an exception. I invite you to research the topic of hadith more academically. Videos in the following discussion can be a very good starting point: Discussion 21789 Lastly , I did not present Ibn-e-Hazm’s evidence from the companions as a basis for any legislation. Legislation by definition forbids certain things or sets their boundaries. For example, walking on the streets is permissible by default. If our government wants to make it forbidden for any reason or set some boundaries around it they will legislate. That said, I can definitely see that some people might consider masturbation wrong, and I respect their opinion as long as they do not try to impose it on others. When we term something as haram, we need to have clear evidence from God. One could argue that it’s immoral and God forbids everything immoral, but morality only comes into picture in reference to our behavior with others. For example, lying to one self, or cheating one self is universally not considered immoral.
Thanks for the clarification but adding few sentences of advise on these type of issues along with a short and focused response still would be appropriate. Sometimes the reader can not go into depth of the issue or unable to retrieve other sources of information on that particular topic. Still I appreciate what Ghamidi Centre is doing, creating awareness on issue which used to be taboo. May Allah accept your team’s efforts. (Aameen). Jizak-Allah
@Munnoo The Hadith from Mulim and Bukhari that you referred has nothing to do with it as Prophet SAW is talking that if anyone can support wife he should marry as it restrain eyes and protect against immorality who can not do so he fasts as it bring down his sexual desire. If you read it carefully and attentively Prophet SAW referring to Zina that if someone has the desire to do that he should marry immediately if he can support a wife if not then he should fast from protecting himself against Zina as it bring down sexual de
