Does the interpretation of the noble verse: "And those who guard their private parts" include guarding the health and safety of the private parts from diseases, and is masturbation permissible for this purpose if nocturnal emission does not occur?
Preserving one's private parts means protecting them from unlawful sexual intercourse. Masturbation is forbidden according to the majority of scholars, and it is only permissible in cases of dire necessity, such as fear of committing fornication or falling ill, as mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah.
