Makrooh
Although all legal schools of thought consider masturbation to be haram, some scholars have allowed it as a last resort for unmarried individuals attempting to avoid succumbing to the greater sin of zina.[
The Quran, chapter 23 (Al-Muminun), verse 5 to 7:
““And who guard their private parts, Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable, But whoever seeks to go beyond that, these are they that exceed the limits” — translated by M. H. Shakir
The Quran, chapter 24 (An-Noor), verse 33 to 33:
“And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world's life; and whoever compels them, then surely after their compulsion Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.— translated by M. H. Shakir
A narration attributed to Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood reports:
“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.
It should be noted that this hadis mentions illegal sexual intercourse instead of masturbation however it also should be noted that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) recommended fasting and did not mention masturbation.
Ibn Kathir wrote in volume 5 p. 458:[2]
A narration attributed to Hasan ibn Arfah reports:
“Nabi (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'Seven persons are such that Allah will not look at them on the Day of Qiyaamat nor will He purify them nor will He include them among the learned and Allah will enter them into Jahannam. They will enter Jahannam first except for those who repent. As those who repent Allah will accept their repentance.
