What is the ruling on masturbating after hearing the voices of one's parents during marital intimacy, and what are the psychological and physical consequences of this, and do these effects disappear upon quitting this habit?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Parents should be discreet during intercourse so that no one can hear their voices. It is not permissible for a daughter to intentionally listen, and if she hears sounds, she should distract herself from them. One must beware of masturbation, and it can be overcome by fasting, lowering the gaze, closing the doors to temptation, staying away from provocations, associating with righteous women, occupying time with beneficial activities, and earnestly supplicating with good expectations of Allah. To learn about the effects of masturbation, please refer to the medical consultations section of the website.
