Is it permissible to masturbate to relieve excessive sexual urges when one's parents refuse marriage due to young age, and one is committed to acts of worship?
We thank you for your eagerness to perform acts of obedience, avoid everything that arouses desire, and be cautious about forming emotional relationships with young men. We ask Allah Almighty to answer your prayers and grant you a righteous husband with whom you will find happiness. As for your question, the ruling on masturbation to quell excessive desire has been previously explained in no. 181872. What your family says about you being too young is incorrect; you have reached the age of women, so they should help you with the matter of marriage. Try to convince them, and you can seek the help of someone who holds a respected position with them. For further benefit, please refer to Fatwa no. 39111.
