The answer

There are several pieces of advice for abstaining from masturbation: abstaining from everything that arouses desire, taking the initiative to marry when possible and fasting for those who cannot, moderation in eating and drinking, choosing righteous friends, engaging in worship, integrating into community work, avoiding soft clothing and arousing scents, not sleeping on a luxurious bed, avoiding mixed gatherings, and directing the sense of beauty towards permissible areas. They should also be warned about its physical and psychological harms, such as draining bodily strength, causing depression, and sexual weakness. It also increases the risk of a girl losing her virginity and affecting her pleasure after marriage. The most effective way to avoid this habit is to raise children on the awareness of Allah's constant watchfulness.
