Question 7
Is masturbation forbidden even without inserting a solid object, meaning only external stimulation? What if the intention is to avoid falling into a greater forbidden act? And is ghusl required afterward?
Ahmed al-Hasan Response:
Masturbation is legally forbidden. If you mean to compare it with committing the indecency of adultery or fornication-God forbid-then zina is more severely forbidden because it is among the major sins. Masturbation does not become permissible merely because a person does it thinking that this will keep him or her away from zina. Ghusl al-janabah is obligatory upon a person who has a seminal emission, meaning semen comes out with spurting and sexual desire. Likewise, ghusl is obligatory upon a woman if she has a sexual emission, as I mentioned in Al-Shara'i.
