What is the ruling on fondling the penis until madhiy (pre-ejaculatory fluid) is discharged, then stopping before the emission of semen, knowing that the ruling on masturbation is prohibition?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Performing this act intentionally for masturbation is impermissible, even if no semen is discharged, because it is an initiation into a forbidden act. Some scholars hold that the displacement of semen necessitates (ritual bath) and breaks the fast of a fasting person. Furthermore, this act leads to physical and psychological harm.
