Is masturbation forbidden in a case of complete atrophy of one testicle, and marriage is impossible despite intense sexual desire?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Masturbation is evil and reprehensible, and it has detrimental effects on the doer's religiosity, psyche, and health. Your situation does not permit it, and you must continue searching for a wife and not despair. If marriage is not possible for you, know that this habit does not solve the problem of lust. Rather, the remedy is through fasting while guarding one's hearing and sight, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised.
