Is it permissible to marry a girl whom you desired while masturbating?

Merely imagining enjoying a woman does not prohibit her for a man, whether this is during masturbation or otherwise. Therefore, there is no harm in proposing to and marrying this woman if there is no legal impediment. However, there are matters that require attention: Masturbation is forbidden, and it is not permissible to imagine enjoying a woman who is not lawful for him, because the heart "desires, wishes, believes that private part, and disbelieves it." A Muslim should occupy himself with what benefits him and be patient until marriage becomes easy for him.
