Is it permissible to masturbate due to the presence of unveiled female students and teachers who arouse desire in high school?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Masturbation is forbidden and harmful to one's religious and worldly life. One must avoid it and seek another school. If you cannot find one and are unable to control your desires and continue your studies, then there is no harm. Fasting, keeping good company, lowering one's gaze, and remembering Allah help one to be chaste. If you cannot avoid the sin because of your studies, then you must leave them; for preserving one's religion is more important. Allah promises relief to the pious, and whoever gives up something for Allah, He will compensate him with something better.
